Abstract
III.
MR. SCLATER commenced his fifth and concluding -Lecture on the geographical distribution of the mammalia, by impressing the importance of precise definition of the exact localities from which zoological specimens are obtained. He showed that by further careful collecting, new animals, even of considerable size, most probably remain to be discovered, considering that a previously unknown rhinoceros and a fresh genus of deer had been made known within the last three years.
