From Thibet it is desirable to obtain, 



The grunting ox with a horse's tail (bos gruniens.) 



The Cachemire goat, 

 The musk deer. 

 Gazelles, 



From the Incfian Archipelago, chiefly the Moluccas* 



We most earnestly desire a species of fish from 

 this part of the world, called dooiong djugong, or 

 marine cow; the skin and skeleton, and if possible 

 its viscera, or at least its stomach and larynx, in 

 spirits. 



The phalangers or couscous or coescoes in spirits. 



The lemur spectrum, or ape with the hind legs 

 treble the length of the front. 



Those who are able to land in Sumatra, are re- 

 quested to obtain information respecting a large 

 animal described by Newhoff, under the name of 

 succotiro. 



From the West Indies. 



We principally request the musk rat, or pilory ; 

 a number of them in spirits. 



From Cayenne. 



Every species of ant-eater; the skeleton, and in 

 spirits.
