 limited to the display of specimens of only a comparatively 

 small percentage of the known species. On account of the 

 exceptional interest of the present group a very much larger 

 proportion of the species is, however, shown to the public, and it 

 may be hoped that it will eventually be found possible to exhibit 

 all the larger species of which specimens are procurable.
