Mr. Esler went to the Sudan for Mr. Carl Hagenbeck to collect the 

 larger Mammalia in pre-Mahdian days. He made collections of birds in 

 Bogos-Land, chiefly in the neighbourhood of Keren. Many ot these early 

 consignments were bought by myself and by Capt. G. E. Shelley, and are 

 included in our respective collections of African birds now in the Museum. 

 A few were also bought from Mr. Gerrard in later years.

Mr. Everett's whole life was spent in the cause of science, and no man 

 underwent more privations than this brave naturalist, who undoubtedly 

 shortened his days by his devotion to zoological work. From the time 

 that he entered the service of Kaja Brooke in Sarawak his whole mind 

 was devoted to the study of zoology. I described several of his early 

 collections from Borneo in the 'Ibis' for 1876, pp. 29-52, pi. ii. ; 1877, 

 pp. 1-25; 1893, pp. 550, 559, 560-563, and in the P.Z.S. for 1879, 

 p. 343, where Prionnchilus everetti is figui'ed (pi. xxx., fig. 1). The 

 results of his explorations in the Philippines, where he travelled for the 

 late Marquis of Tweeddale, were described by the latter (P.Z.S., 

 1877, pp. 686-703 (Luzon), 755-769 (Cebu), 816-834 (Mindanao); 

 P.Z.S., 1878, pp. 106-114, pis. vi.-viii. (Dinagat, etc.), 280-288 (Negros), 

 339-346 (Leyte), 379-381 (Panaon), 611-624, pis. xxxvii., xxxviii. 

 (Palawan), 708-712 (Bohol), 936-954, pis. Ivii.-lix. (Zamboanga) ; 1879, 

 pp. 68-73 (Basilan). Several remarkable novelties were discovered by 

 Everett in the Philippines as well as in the Sulu Archipelago (cf. Sharpe, 

 ' Ibis,' 1894, pp. 238-259, pis. vi., vii.). 



His later work was for the Hon. Walter Eothschild, and consisted 

 of explorations in the Lesser Sunda Islands and in Celebes and the 

 neighbouring islands. The following papers refer to these expeditions : 

 Hartert, Nov. Zool. i., pp. 469-483 ; ii., pp. 466-478 (Natuna Islands) ; 

 iii., pp. 69-71, 149-165 (S. Celebes), pp. 591-599 (Lombok); iv., pp. 

 170-172 (Flores, Djampea Island), 253-273 (Savu), 513-528, pi. ii. ; 

 v., pp. 42-50, pi. i. "(S. Flores) ; v., p. Ill (Timor), 455-465 (Lomblon, 

 Pantar, Ombay), 477-505 (Sumba). 



Mr. Everett himself published some valuable papers and notes, the 

 most important beinsr his essay on the zoo-geographical relationship of 

 the island of Palawan (P.Z.S., 1889, p. 220), and his " List of the Birds 

 of the Bornean Group of Islands " (J. Straits' Branch K. Asiatic Soc, 

 1889, p. 91.
