 lection of Sir Harry Johnston, including the famous specimens 

 of the Okapi, and that of the Quelch collection from British 

 Guiana, presented by Mr. F. V. McConnell. Other noteworthy

 made in Tripoli by E. Dodson, and presented by Mr. J. I. 

 S. W T hitaker, the Coiba Island series, presented by the Hon. 

 Walter Rothschild, that from the Liu Kiu Islands, by the Hon.
