New York, Nov. 10.
A magnificent collection of South Asiatic mammals, in life-like set- ting--possibly the finest of its kind
In the world-has been given to the New York Museum of Natural History by two Britons.
The museum is indebted to Mr Aruthur S. Vernay, a Briton living in New York, and the late Colonel J. C. Faunthorpe, former Commis- sioner of Lucknow, for the collec- tion, which involved six expeditions during a period of more than seven years.
Preparing Indian Hall The preparation of a noble In- dlan hall, where specimen's of rapidly-disappearing Indian big game will be housed, has been under way for the last five years.
In declaring the collection' open Mr. Osborne, the head of the museum, said that it was a remark. ably significant fact that the gift should come from two Britons who, desired to express their goodwill and affection to the United States. Henceforth Vernay-Faunthorpe Hall would not only perpetuate the names of the generous founders, but would supply one more educational). link between English-speaking peo- ples,
