Birds. 379 



Haggard (W. H. D.). 



(37 birds from the Andes of Ecuador, Presented. [94. 2. 15, 1-67.] 

 Mr. Haggard has been H.B.M. Kesident Minister in Ecuador, 

 Venezuela, and the Argentine Republic. The birds presented by him 

 were collected by his friend Mr. L. Soderstrom, the Swedish Consul in 

 Ecuador, who has himself also given some valuable birds to the Museum. 



Haigh (George Henry Caton). 



17 specimens of Sturnus vulgaris from Tetney, Lincolnshire, Pre- 

 sented. [89. 1. 2, 1-17.] 



Mr. Caton Haigh was one of several friends who helped me in my 

 unluckily futile endeavours to determine the migratory routes of the 

 Common Starling in Europe, and he obtained a series of specimens from 

 the Lincolnshire coast. My object was to ascertain what proportion of 

 the birds which migrated from the Continent to our eastern shores 

 in winter were the Scandinavian form (the true Sturnus vulgaris of 

 Linnajus) or were tinged with an admixture of the Purple-headed Starling 

 {Sturiias menzbieri, Sharpe). Although it was evident that many of our 

 eastern birds were of the intermediate form, which Mr. Prazak, rushing 

 in where I had feared to tread, afterwards called Sturnus intermedins, it 

 was impossible to prove whether the Starlings which were procured on 

 our eastern and southern coasts were migrants from the Continent or 

 birds which came south from the north of England or from Scotland (cf. 

 Eagle Clarke, Ibis, 1902, pp. 246-269). 



43 Skylarks (^Alauda arvensis) from the neighbourhood of Great 

 Grimsby. Presented. [90. 10. 20, 1-43.] 



These Larks were also collected for me by Mr. Caton-Haigh for the 

 same ])urpose as the Starlings, viz., to attempt to settle the lines of 

 migration of our own Skylark and the larger Continental form. 



57 Wading Birds from Great Grimsby. Presented. [91. 10. 1, 1-35 ; 

 91. 10. 25, 1-22.] 



Hall (Robert). 



10 birds from N.W. Australia. Presented. [1902. 6. 12, 1-10.] 

 1 new to the collection (^Pseudogerygone tenebrosa). 



Mr. Hall is one of the most energetic of Australian naturalists, and has 

 also collected in Kerguelen Land {cf. Ibis, 1900, pp. 1-34), and on the 

 River Lena in Siberia (cf. Hartert, Ibis, 1904, pp. 415-446). 



Hamilton {Capt). 



IG birds from Jamaica. Presented. [58. 10. 1, 12-27.] 



Hamilton (G. E. H. Barrett-). 



See Barrett-Hamiltoj^. 



Hanson (Nikolai). 



308 specimens of birds and eggs from N. Norway. [96. 10. 2, 1-37 ; 



96. 11. 17, 1-29; 97. 2. 6, 1-27; 97. 5. 11, 1-21; 97. 11. 16, 1-25; 



97. 12. 12, 1-38 ; 98. 4. 28, 1-37 ; 98. 5. 3, 1-28 ; 98. 6. 24, 34-66.] 

 These birds were collected in the Sundal Fjord and the neighbourhood 



of Christiansund, as well as on the Smolen Islands, whither he accompanied 

 me in May 1898. He obtained a most useful series shewing the changing 

 plumages of the Black Guillemot {Uria grylle), and especially of the 

 Eider Duck (Somateria mollissima). 



Hanson died during the Antarctic Expedition of the Southern Cross, 

 of which he was the zoologist. On this occasion he made a fine collection
