NOTES ON LIVING ZOOLOGICAL COLLECTION 

 AT LILFORD 



1 . . . I will begin by a cordial invitation 

 to all present who may care to see my collections, 

 to pay them a visit 

 in May, June, July, or 

 August, simply asking 

 that any who are so 

 disposed will write to 

 me direct, giving name, 

 address, and probable 

 number of party. . . . 

 ' It is probable that 

 some of those present 

 have already visited 

 Lilford, and to these 

 I sorrowfully an- 

 nounce that my old 

 raven, whom they will remember as one of 

 the most amusing of our living creatures, 

 went blind some years ago and died last year.
