Birds. 325 



Colonel Butler is one of the most artistic preservers of specimens that 

 I have ever known, every single skin of his collections having been 

 prepared with the most scrupulous care. His entire Indian series, save a 

 few skins which he presented direct to our Museum, passed into the 

 hands of Mr. Allan Hume, and some important papers were published 

 on the collections (" Stray Feathers," iii., pp. 437-500 ; ix., pp. 367-442). 



During the first Boer War he served with his retjiment in Natal, and 

 made a collection of birds, now in the Shelley collection. Interesting 

 notes on these birds were published in the " Zoologist " for 1882 (pp. 

 165-4G0). 



Colonel Butler has also published two very useful memoirs, viz., 

 " Catalogue of the Birds of Sind, Cutch, etc.," 1879 (pp. 1-83), " Catalogue 

 of the 13irds of the southern portion of the Bombay Presidency," 1880 

 (pp. 1-114). 



Buttikofer {Dr. J.). 

 See Frank, G. A. 



A Swiss naturalist, who was for some years attached to the Leyden 

 Museum as Professor Schlegel's ornithological assistant. He has travelled 

 extensively in Liberia, where, after enduring great hardships, he procured 

 a fine collection of mammals and birds from this region of West Africa. 

 From this celebrated exploration the British Museum obtained a few 

 duplicates through the agency of Mr. G. A. Frank {cf. Biittikofer 

 " Reisebilde," 2 vols., published in 1890). 



He also conducted an expedition into the mountains of Dutch N.W. 

 Borneo {cf. Notes, Leyden Museum, vii., viii., x., xi., xii.). He is now 

 the Director of the Zoological Gardens at Eotterdam.
