ornithologist, who spends most of his time collecting, when on 
shore, and who got many rare birds that he gave to Mr. Brown, 
and Mr. H. Watson of Bogaba, who has had much experience in 
collecting birds and mammals in Chiriqui, and who helped Mr. 
Brown in many ways and gave him permission to collect on his 
extensive coffee, banana and cocoa plantations.
