The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 64

[introduction]

The Birds occupy the wall cases in the Second or Upper Gallery. They are distinguished from all other animals by being covered with feathers. The collection comprises about 1,200 species, belonging to nearly 800 genera, nearly all of which are exhibited to the public. Out of the 114 families into which birds are divided by Mr. G. Gray, 103 are represented in the Museum galleries.
