COLLECTION OF REPTILES. 61 



One of our Delawares killed a very large wild cat (Lyncus rufus) 

 to-day, the skin of which we have preserved. 



Our collection of reptiles increases very rapidly, and we now have 

 upwards of a hundred specimens, many of them very beautiful and in- 

 teresting. Our herbarium is also enlarging daily, and we already have 

 a large collection.
