• As many persons in Europe know Doherty principally as a selling collector 

 of zoological specimens, it must here be explained that he never tiiought of 

 collecting specimens for sale when he commenced his travels. Although he was 

 always interested in natural history, aiul caught butterflies now and then, he did not 

 learn collecting before he came to Persia, where he met a German collector ; and 

 it was not until 1882, as he has said above, that he made a collection of any 

 consequence, which I believe was lost, with several others, in 1887. It was only 

 later still— I believe in 1884 or 1885— that circumstances induced him to sell his 

 collections.
