 For a very complete memoir of this well-l^nown ornithologist, see 

 the " Ibis " fur 1896 (pp. 430, 593-596), " Lord Lilford on Birds," by 

 A. Trevor-Battye (4to, 1903), and " Lord Lilford ; a Memoir by his Sister, 

 the Hon. Mrs. Drewitt " (8vo, 1900, pp. xxiv., 290). 



"Linnea," Berlin. 



21 birds from Salanga Island. Purchased. [82. 3. 21, 1-15.] 

 The collection of birds made by Capt. Weber on Salanga was 

 described by Dr. A. Miiller (J.f.O., 1882, pp. 353-448). He described 

 a new species of Woodpecker as Oecinus weberi, of which the type- 

 specimens -were acquired by the Museum. Mr. Hargitt has united this 

 species with G. viridanus (cf. Cat. B., xviii., p. 47). Tins Captain Weber 

 is the same individual that Ixidia ivebheri, Hume, is named after (Str. F., 

 1879, pp. 40, 63). It should, therefore, be called Ixidia ^veberi. 



From the "Linnea" the Museum also acquired some rare species of 

 East African birds ; of which Histurgops ruficauda, Parisoma boehmi, 

 CosmopsaruH unicolor, and Muscicaj/a infuIatawGre new to the collection.

Linnean Society. 



When the Linnean Society determined to give up its private Museum, 

 the birds were sent to the British Museum in 18G3, in two lots. 



The first series consisted of the types of Parrots and Pigeons described 

 by Temminck in 1819 (vol. siii., pp. 107-130), in his paper entitled : 

 " Account of some new species of Birds of the genera Psittacus and 

 Columba, in the Museum of the Linnean Society." [63. 7. 6, 1--15.]
