We are happy to make known the following extract from a letter from N. 
Vigors, Esq. Secretary to the Zoological Society of London, to his correspondent 
in Calcutta, and doubt not that those of our readers who have an opportunity, 
will be happy to aid the Society in the way indicated. 
“ We should be very glad to pay the expenses of any of the animals of India, 
which you could send us alive, more particularly the cassowary, gigantic or other 
cranes, custards, or any other of the gallinaceous birds ; the antilopes and deer, 
except among the latter what are called the sumboo and the axis , of both of which 
we have abundance in this country. Among the gallinaceous birds I would par- 
ticularize the pheasants, such as the Impeyan, the horned pheasant, and the Fire- 
backe, as particularly acceptable, and also the jungle-fowl, male and female.”
