other valuable animals, the Council determined on sending 
out to Calcutta, to receive and bring back those proffered 
donations, Mr. Thompson, who had previously made the 
same journey with such signal success on the occasion of the 
introduction of the Himalayan Pheasants in 1858. They 
also gladly embraced the opportunity of sending out to the 
Babu Rajendra Mullick a selection of living animals likely 
to be acceptable to that gentleman, as some return for the 
many valuable donations that he has from time to time 
made to the Society’s Menagerie. The Society will be 
pleased to hear that Mr. Thompson, who left England in 
the ‘ Hydaspes’ on the 28th of November last, has reached 
Calcutta with only the loss of one individual of the col- 
lection under his charge.
