  Ruckbeil 
  at 
  Przewalsk, 
  on 
  the

  about 
  150 
  miles 
  

   to 
  the 
  south-west 
  of

  The 
  collection 
  is 
  of 
  so 
  much 
  value 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  and 
  so 
  

   much 
  scientific 
  interest 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  thought 
  it 
  advisable 
  to 
  

   give 
  a 
  full 
  list 
  of 
  it. 
  

  

  Thirty-one 
  species 
  are 
  included, 
  of 
  which 
  six 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  

   new.
