232 Zoology. 



In the Museum copy there is a title-page to the next part of 

 the Sale-Catalogue, which is missing in Professor Newton's copy. 

 It is entitled "Part Fourth, containing the 19th, 20th, 21st and 

 22nd days' sale," etc. etc. 



The NiNETEhNTH Day's Sale occurred on June 1, 1819. 



Dr. Leach bought a few birds, as follows : — 



Lot 16. Fine specimen of Mother Carey's Goose (£5 5s.). 



Lot 66. Chocolate Falcon, " Amer. Orn. " (£1 Is.). 



Lot 78. Two Hawks, from North America (12s.). 



Lot 79. One Hawk and a Butcher Bird (12s.). 



On the Twentieth Day's Sale, Wednesday, June 2, 1819, 

 more birds were sold, but Dr. Leach does not seem to have put 

 in an appearance ; all the other buyers were present, and some 

 new names added to the list. 



Lot 94. Fifteen Bird-skins, from Sierra Leone, were bought 

 by Mr. Swainson for <£6 18s. 



Lot 95. Kingfisher from East Indies, bought by Temminck 

 may be the Dacelo coromandeliana of Schlegel's Catalogue (" Mus.

 Against this lot (p. 124) is a MS. note signed "J. S.," which 

 Professor Newton thinks may have been originally written by 

 James Sowerby, but I am inclined to think it is J. L. ( = John 

 Latham), to whose hand-writing all the MS. notes in Professor 

 Newton's copy of the Sale-Catalogue bear a strong resemblance. 



Lot 114. Larus Atracilloides, a rare Gull. Bought by 

 Mr. Sabine for 2 guineas. 



Lot 1 1 5. Undescribed Grosbeak, from Tristan d' Acunha ; 

 and the Mosambique Finch. Bought by Professor Lichtenstein
