A List of Animals desirable towards completing the series of Compa- 

 rative Anatomy in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons 

 in London. 



The names printed in small capitals are of those Animals which are 

 more especially required. 



The names marked with an asterisk (*) indicate those animals of 

 which the bones only need be transmitted. Of these it is highly desir- 

 able to procure Skeletons both of the male and female, with separate 

 skulls of both sexes, for the teeth, sexual differences, &c, and skulls of 

 the young animal for the deciduous teeth, and the changes of form re- 

 sulting from growth.

 with the specimens.
