Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Galleries of Mammalia (Mammalian, Osteological, Cetacean): In the Department of Zoology of the British Museum (Natural History) The alterations introduced into the present edition consist chiefly in references to the more important additions which have been placed on exhibition since the previous issue of this Guide. The opening-up of the countries of Eastern and Central Africa has yielded several new and interesting forms of Antelope and Zebra, obtained by Colonel A. Paget, Captain H. G. C. Swayne and others; whilst Mr. St. G. Littledale has enriched the collection with a pair of the European Wild Bison, a series of Polo's Sheep, specimens of the wild Two-humped Camel, and several other large game-animals, all shot by himself during his expeditions into the Caucasus and Central Asia.
