THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
This Society was instituted in 1826, under the auspices of Sir 
Humphrey Davy, Bart., Sir Stamford Raffles, and other eminent 
individuals, for the advancement of Zoology and Animal Physiology, 
and for the introduction of new and curious subjects of the Animal 
Kingdom, and was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1829. 
During the period which has elapsed since the opening of the 
Gardens in the Regent’s Park in 1828, a very large number of 
species of Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles has been obtained, detailed 
lists of which will be found in the published Catalogues of the 
Collection. To these were added, in 1853, collections of Pishes 
aud of the Lower Aquatic Animals, both marine and freshwater, 
and in 1881 a House for the breeding and exhibition of Insocts and 
other Articulata.
