Abstract
THOUGH many travellers in new or little-known regions, who are not naturalists, have been in the habit of collecting to some extent the more remarkable specimens which they have noticed, in various branches of the animal kingdom, yet, as a rule, both such collections and the reports upon them are more or less unsatisfactory to professed naturalists; partly because they usually represent mere fragments of the fauna of the regions explored, and partly because inexperienced collectors often pass over the most interesting species, and bring back common and wide-ranging forms of comparatively little interest.
