  Although 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  animals 
  has 
  been 
  augmented 
  considerably, 
  

   there 
  are 
  still 
  numerous 
  gaps 
  in 
  large 
  and 
  important 
  forms. 
  Many 
  

   of 
  the 
  larger 
  animals 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  are 
  very 
  old 
  and 
  will 
  

   undoubtedly 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  replaced 
  in 
  the 
  near 
  future.
