Burbidge (F.). 



See Veitch, H. 

 Mr. Burbidge was a botanical collector, who travelled in the East for 

 Messrs. Veitch. He was at the same time a good ornithological observer, 

 and when in N.W. Borneo he ascended the slopes of Mount Kina Balu, 

 went up the Lawas Eiver, and visited the Sulu islands, where he dis- 

 covered a new Parrot {Tanygnathus burhidgei). His collection was 

 described by me (P.Z.S., 1879, pp. 245-9). 



Burls (H. T.). 



160 birds from Buxton Co., West Virginia. Presented. [1906. 

 1. 20, 1-168.] 



Burmeister (H.). 



8 birds from the Argentine Republic. Purchased. [72. 5. 31, 1-8.] 

 The Director of the Buenos Aires Museum and author of the " Thiere 

 Brasiliens " and the " Reise durch die La Plata-Staaten, mit besonderer 

 Riicksicht auf die physische Beschaflfenheit und den Culturzustand der 

 Argeutinischen Republik." He discovered a new species of Seriama which, 

 has been named after him Chunga burmeisteri. 



Burnett {Sir W.) and Fitzroy (Admiral). 



188 specimens from various parts of South America. [37. 2. 21, 

 231-417; 37.3. 15, 1.] 



These specimens were collected by Admiral Fitzroy, a celebrated 

 meteorologist of his time (of. Diet. Nat. Biogr., vii., p. 414). Sir Wm. 

 Burnett was the King's physician, and what he had to do with the 

 jiresentation of a collection made by the Admiral, I have never been able 

 to discover. 



Burrows (Capt. Guy). 



31 specimens from the Aruwhimi River, Upper Congo. Purchased. 

 [1902. 5. 3, 1-31.] 



Among many other interesting specimens, one of Dvyotriorchis 

 batesi, the West African Serpent-Eagle, is the most noteworthy. 

 The collection acquired by the Museum is but a small portion of that 

 formed by Capt. Guy Burrows, only one bos having reached England 

 out of several forwarded to Antwerp for transmission to this country. 

 [Cf. " Land of the Pigmies, etc.," London, 1898.]

 Wardour Street, to whom many specimens of Osbert Salvin's youthful 

 collections were due. All the sons were clever taxidermists.
