Owing to the increase of accommodation upstairs, it is

 of general instruction.

Although no addition has been made to the British 

 Mammals, we devote this paragraph to the collection, 

 hoping that we may thereby meet with assistance in 

 its completion. Unlike British Birds, which migrate, 

 and which therefore in some species can only be obtained 

 as stragglers, the Mammals are resident, and though
