THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



This Society was instituted in 1826, under the auspices of Sir 

 Humphrey Daty, Bart., Sir Stameoed Raffles, and other eminent 

 individuals, for the advancement of Zoology and Animal Physiology, 

 aud for the introduction of new and curious subjects of the Animal 

 Kingdom, and was incorporated by Eoyal Charter in 1829. 



During the period which has elapsed since the opening of the 

 Gardens in the Regent's Park in 1828, a very large number of 

 species of Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles has been obtained, detailed 

 lists of which will be found in the published Catalogues of the 

 Collection. To these were added, in 1849, collections of Fishes 

 and of the Lower Aquatic Animals, both marine and freshwater, 

 and in 1881 a House for the breeding and exhibition of Insects and 

 other Articulata.
