Mr. Ogilvie-Grant has been my colleague in the British Museum since 

 June 1882, and has worked with great enthusiasm. He has procured 27 

 of the nesting-groups of British Birds, many taken by himself, others in 

 company with Capt. Savile Reid and Mr. G. A. St. Quintin, He has also 

 made expeditions to Madeira and the neighbouring islands (with the Hon. 

 Cecil Baring), Canaries, Salvage Islands, Azores, S. Arabia, and Sokotra 

 (with Dr. H. 0. Forbes), adding, in every instance, valuable series of 

 specimens to the collections. He is a great authority on the game-birds, 

 and described the Order Galliformes in vol. xxii. of the ' Catalogue of 

 Birds.' He has also written a large portion of vols. xvii. and xxvi. of the 

 ' Catalogue.' 



Among the nesting-groups of British Birds, the Museum owes the 

 following to Mr. Ogilvie-Grant : — Rook, Jackdaw, Hooded Crow, Tree- 

 Pipit, Robin, Chiffchaff, Swallow, House-Martin, Partridge, Black Grouse, 

 Capercaillie, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Rock Dove, Stock Dove, Red-
