Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum, Vol. 12
The removal of the Natural History Department into a new and more commodious building has no doubt had much to do with the almost simultaneous accession of collections for the reception of which there would not have been room in the old building. But the chief causes by which the donors of these magnificent col lections were moved to deposit them in the National Museum are to be sought in the scrupulous care bestowed on the preservation of the specimens as well as in the rigorous adherence by the Trustees to the principle of rendering them subservient to scientific use as far as this is compatible with safe custody.
