Show 1892.] IN THE LIDTH DE JEUDE COLLECTION. 317 Finally, in order to focus as far as possible all the existing information about the Seba cabinet, I have thought it well to reproduce just as it stands the list, obligingly hunted out for m e by Prof. Milne-Edwards, of the specimens taken to Paris. The numbers placed in brackets are those of the Seba plates and figures which may be those of the specimens mentioned. How many of these interesting specimens still remain in the Paris Museum after the lapse of nearly a century, I will leave m y confreres of that great institution to determine ; but I a m afraid there cannot be many, as the specimens seem to have been for the most part perishable skins or stuffed specimens.
