Note 26 — PLATE I. SPECIMENS OF VERY EARLY MISCARRIAGES.

I am thus particular, because there is a second and even a third series of numbers in this collection, which are differently marked on the preparations and in the MS. lists, although belonging to the same specimens. This confusion which has crept in, in spite of Mr. Clift’s vigilance and endeavours to prevent it, will disappear as soon as that skilful naturalist shall have been able to complete the laborious task of making a catalogue raisonné, of the museum.
