Birds. 341> 



Everett (Harold H.). 

 See HiGGiNS, T. 



A brother of Alfred Everett and a good collector. I described a 

 collection of his from Sarawak, with some notes on Oyornis rufifrons, and 

 a new 'Q\i\h\A{rxidia paroticalis) in the "Ibis " for 1878 (pp. 417-419). 



The Rev. H. H. Slater described another collection of Mr. Harold 

 Everett's from the Bangal Hills in Sarawak, and named Myiophoneus 

 horneensis and Parus cinerascens (Ibis, 1885, pp. 123, 124). The latter 

 name being preoccupied, he changed it to P. sarawacensis (Ibis, 1885, 

 p. 327). It has never been found again, whereas Myiophoneus horneensis 

 has been met with on several mountains in N.W. Borneo (Kina Balu, 

 Dulit, etc.). 



Exton {Br. H.). 



51 birds and egtzs from the Orange Eiver Colony and the Transvaal. 

 Presented. [76. 1. 25, 1-4 ; 7G. 10. 18, 1-23 ; 77. 2. 5, 1-4 ; 77. 4. 23, 

 1-20.] 



Peh'ochelidon spilodera was new to the collection. Dr. Exton collected 

 in Matabeleland when it was still an unexplored country, and resided 

 for some time at Kanye. Barhatula extoni was a new Barbet discovered 

 by him. 



Eyton (Thomas Campbell). 



See Gerrard, E. 



Eyton was a well-known Shropshire naturalist and a coadjutor with 

 Jardine in the days of the " Contributions to Ornithology." He was the 

 author of " A Catalogue of the British Birds," 8vo, vi. + 68 pp. (1836) ; 

 " History of the Rarer British Birds," 8vo, pp. 1-101 (1836) ; " Monograph 

 of the Anatidx " (1838) ; and " Osteologia Avium." One of his principal 

 papers was a "Catalogue of a Collection of Birds from Malaya," with 

 descriptions of new species (P.Z.S., 1839, p. 100), wherein some now very 

 Avell-known forms were described for the first time. 



After his death his collection was purchased by Mr. E. Gerrard, and 

 I made a selection of the types for the Museum. The labelling of the 

 collection was in such an illegible handwriting that I fear I missed identi- 

 fying a few of them, but the majority of the Eyton types are now in the 

 British Museum.

Parnum (J. E. and G. L.). 



74 birds from the Khiugan Mountains, Mongolia. Presented. [98. 11..

Farquhar (Capt. A. M., E.N.). 



121 specimens from the New Hebrides. Presented. [1900. 1. 10, 

 1-121.] 



2 specimens of ^githalus macedonica, new to the collection. [1901. 

 4. 13, 1 and 2.] 



This remarkable donation of birds by Capt. Farquhar added 12 new 

 species to the Museum, and these were described by me in the Bulletin 

 of the British Ornithologists' Club, vol. x. (pp. xxxviii, xxxix), and in
