. Animal Life and the World of Nature; A magazine of Natural History. ical Gardens, on 31st August, was taken in the Societys mortuary soon after the event took place. As particulars of its size, etc., were given in last months Animal Life, it is unnecessary to say more here, except to repeat the regret that the Society should have been prevented from realizing their hopes of getting a profitable and highly interesting addition to their collection.
