200 Mr. W. E. Ogilvie-Grant on Birds from 



did not, however, reach its destination till after the melan- 

 choly accident had occurred. Though the collection is 

 somewhat disappointing on account of the above-mentioned 

 shortcomings, it is nevertheless very valuable. Every speci- 

 men bears full particulars of sex, date, and locality, while 

 the colours of the soft parts are indicated in every instance 

 by spots of water-colour, affording a much clearer and more 

 satisfactory record than any description. 



As in most instances the species represented do not call 

 for any special remark, I have merely appended a list of the 

 birds collected in each locality, followed by notes on such as 

 seem to demand them. The names of the latter will be found 

 marked in the lists with an asterisk (*).
