Birds. 331 



Conrad (CapL). 



See Sharpe, R. Bowdler. 

 Capt. Conrad's collection from Siam and other parts of the Malay 

 Archiiielago and the China Seas was described by Dr. Otto Finsch. 

 'i'he collection was oSered for sale, and I bought it during a visit to 

 Germany and presented it to the Museum. 



Comrie (Surgeon), B.N. 



27 eggs from Ascension Island. Presented. [82. 6. 18, 1-27.] 



Dr. Comrie was a naval surgeon who took great interest in natura 



history, and was the discoverer of the splendid Manucode from Huon Gulf 



named after him Manucodia comriei (cf. Sclater, P.Z.S., 1876, p. 459 



pi. xlii). 



Conway (Sir Martin). 



23 birds from Lake Titicaca and other localities in the Andes. Pre- 

 sented. [99. 10. 4, 1-23.] 



Cookson (Commander W. E.). 



13 specimens from the Galapagos Archipelago (Charles and Albemarle 

 Islands). Presented. [76. 7. 21, 1-13.] 



"When in command of H.M.S. Pe^ere^ Commander Cookson was directed 

 to proceed to the Galapagos by Admiral the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, and the 

 results of his fortnight's stay in the Archipelago were published by 

 Dr. Giinther in the " Proceedings of the Zoological Society " for 1877 

 (pp. 64-68). 



Cooper (Sir Daniel). 



96 birds from Australia. Presented. [56. 3. 14, 1-96,] 



Coppinger (Dr. R. W.). 



91 skins and skeletons of birds from the Straits of Magellan and 

 Western Patagonia, obtained during the voyage of H.M.S. Alert. Presented 

 by the Lords of the Admiralty. [80. 8. 3, 1-79 ; 83. 10. 25, 1-12.] 



176 specimens from various localities, Tongatabu, Torres Straits, 

 Glorioso and Aldabra Islands, etc. Presented by the Lords of the 

 Admiralty, [81. 9. 26, 1-19 ; 82. 2. 18, 1-157.] 



The first collection was described by me in 1881 (cf. P.Z.S., 1881, 

 pp. 6-18). The account of the other collections is embodied in the volume 

 on the voyage of H.M.S. Alert, ijublished by the Trustees of the British 

 Museum. A new species of Turtle Dove (Turtur coppingeri) was 

 discovered by him in Glorioso Island. 



Dr. Coppinger was an excellent collector, and gained his first ex|)erience 

 with Colonel Feilden in the Alert during Sir George Nares' expedition to 

 the Arctic regions in 1875-76. 



Cf. Coppinger, " Cruise of the Alert," 1883. 

 Cottle (W.).

 [39. 5. 30, 1-10 ; 40. 5. 13, 1-10 ; 41. 6, 995-997.] 



I have never discovered who Mr. Cottle was, but his small collection 

 is still the only one which has reached the Museum from Nevis. 



Coues (Prof. Elliot). 



One of the greatest of American ornithologists and a first-rate field- 

 naturalist. Many specimens obtained by him are in the Henshaw 

 Collection.
