Abstract
IT is gratifying to learn from a correspondent that, throughout the troubled period of the past few years, the splendid premises and wonderful collections of the famous Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad have scarcely felt the breath of war, famine, pestilence, and revolution which has passed over them. When the English traveller walks in, and is greeted by the famous young mammoth from Siberia, preserved like a recently killed specimen, and sees the rich collections illustrating the fauna of the vast steppes and deserts of Russian Asia, he feels that he is entering into a new world.
