III. LIBRARY. 



The increased Funds now at the disposal of the Council, 

 will enable them to resume the gradual collection of a 

 Library of Books on subjects connected with scientific 

 Zoology : and they have reason to believe that a Collection 

 of this kind, accessible to Members of the Society, and, 

 under certain regulations, to authors engaged in zoo- 

 logical investigations, will be of great and acknowledged 

 utility. 



Impressed also with a sense of the great value of an 

 accurate artistic record of the living form and expression 

 of the rarer species of Animals which exist in the Menagerie, 

 the Council have commenced the formation of a series of 

 Drawings, for which the most interesting subjects will be 

 selected, as the Animals successively arrive at perfection.
