In the present year the enumeration of the Animals ex- 

 hibited for the first time is large beyond all precedent, on 

 account of the new source which has been opened in the 

 Aquavivarium ; but it is to be remembered, if it should be 

 thought that too much importance is attached to the 

 minute beings which constitute the greatest portion of 

 the subjoined array of names, that their structures are as 

 wonderful and their relative station in the scheme of 

 nature as important, as that of the most unwieldy qua- 

 druped or the most gigantic bird ; and, therefore, to the 

 student as valuable and as worthy of observation as the 

 most costly and most rare of the Vertebrata.
