SWAINSONIAN MUSEUM. 



The great object which the Author has had, for the last 

 thirty years, in forming this Museum, was to trace and 

 elucidate that system which it is his intention to develope 

 in the Cabinet of Natural History. As his labours, 

 therefore, in each department are brought before the 

 Public, he wishes to be released of the subjects belong- 

 ing to it, that so much of his time may not be absorbed 

 in the constant care of a collection, now become, collect- 

 ively, so large, as to require a separate building for its 

 full display. The Quadrupeds and Birds having now 

 been finished, these portions, with the exception of two 

 or three families, may be acquired by any Public Insti- 

 tution or private individual, either as a whole, or por- 

 tions containing entire families. The Shells and Insects 

 will be retained until the Volumes on these departments 

 are finished. The purchase-money may be paid by in- 

 stalments, or otherwise, as may be most convenient to 

 the purchasers ; and further particulars may be known 

 by a letter addressed to the Author. 



Tyttenhanger Green, near St. Alban's, Herts.
