Pascoe Zoological Library. 



Zoological works from the F. P. Pascoe library, presented 

 by Miss Pascoe. This donation is the most important acces- 

 sion received by the Hope Library in recent years. The 

 circumstances under which this valuable gift was made have 

 been explained on p. 3. The following is a short summary 

 of the accessions : — 



Books, 87 in 121 volumes, exclusive of journals. 

 Separata, 256, including unbound catalogues and parts 

 greatly wanted to make up imperfect sets of journals already 

 in the Library. 



A few examples have been selected to show the wide range 

 of subjects covered by the volumes. It will be noted that 

 some of them are the rare first editions of remarkable works.
