Mr. Lempriere's collection was described by me in the " Ibis " for 1884

 tion of the first volume of the "Catalogue," I worked there for many days, 

 and my friend Professor Schlegel gave me several species lacking to the 

 British Museum, for which I purchased specimens on my return to 

 England, and sent them in exchange. On this occasion the following
