utility to the country gentlemen, my attention is 

 more directed to the scientific department." The 

 increase of zoological knowledge by the study of 

 the living beings, the introduction of such as might

 establishing such a combination were crowned with 

 the utmost success in the institution of the Zoologi- 

 cal Society of London. We have not room to give 

 all the plan, details, and prospectus of the commence- 

 ment of this now important institution, but it will be 

 interesting, and perhaps wished for by many, to see 

 t le names of those who were first associated with 

 Sir Stamford in its formation.
