Lot Essay

"The Society was founded in 1883 'for the purpose of exchanging notes and observations on Zoology and exhibiting interesting specimens of animal life' ... As a scientific journal its ranks amongst the most important publications issued in the East and is an indispensable aid to the study of the Oriental Fauna and Flora." (Wood)
