During the past year the following additions have been made to the 
natural history collection—viz., a very interesting collection of birds, 
from Jamaica; also a small collection of land shells, from the same 
locality, by Colonel Desborough, R.A.; a few specimens of birds from 
India, America, and Bermuda, by Lieut. Turner, R.A., Lieut. Baddeley, 
R.A., Lieut. A. G. Yeatman, R.A., and Lieut. Gaimes, R.A .; a few 
British birds, by Captain J. S. Stirling, R.A., amongst which is a 
very fine male specimen of capercailzie; and a fine pair of horns of 
the sambur, and also a small pair of moose horns, by Captain T. B. 
Strange, R.A. A few British birds have also been purchased, thus 
slightly reducing the long list of specimens required to complete the 
Institution collection, of which a copy will be found in last year's
