 Few individuals are perhaps aware of the cause ;

 He next took up his abode with Mr. Lee, of Ham- 

 mersmith, and also described the novelties of his 

 cabinet. To every insect labels were attached by

 which was not always the case in the Banksian col- 

 lection. Olivier on his arrival in London directed 

 his attention to the drawers containing the last 

 arrivals of insects, and figured and described for his
