AllCHEY THOMAS DExMERY. 



A few weeks ago we received the sad news from Ro- 

 bertsport of the decease of our Liberian collector A. T. De- 

 in ery. This is a great loss for the sake of zoological in- 

 vestigation in Liberia and the neighbouring districts of 

 Sierra Leone , and especially for our Museum which , by 

 this death , looses its last direct connection with that part 

 of Western Africa. As the readers of our » Notes" will 

 remember, the collections received from Mr. Demery since 

 about a year were very interesting, and amongst many 

 objects contained several novelties. His last collection, 

 made on the Sulymah River, is expected in here every 

 day, and as soon as we will have received it, an ample 

 list will be prepared of the birds collected by him on the 

 mentioned river.
