 exchanged with the late Mr. Henry Seebohm, and passed into the British 

 Museum with the Seebohm Bequest. A certain number were, however, 

 received by the Museum through direct exchange, and amongst other 

 species, the following Game-birds were added to the collection, Caccabis 

 magna, Fhasianus talischensis, P. tariniensis and P. satschuenensis.

Salle's early travels in Central America were principally for the 

 purpose of making entomological collections, but his ornithological work 

 was also important, and he discovered several interesting new species. 

 He first went to San Domingo in 1849, and the collections were sent to 

 Mr. Hugh Cuming [g-. v.] for disposal. They were described by Dr. 

 Sclater (P.Z.S., 1857, p. 230), who also wrote memoirs on Salle's Mexican 

 collections (P.Z.S., 1856 [c/. Ibis, 1897, p. 147], pp. 283-311, pis. cxx., 

 cxxi. ; 1857, pp. 81, 82, 201-207, 226-230; 1858, pp. 95-99, 294-305). 



Salmon (T. K.). 



See Gerrard, E. 



Mr. Salmon was an engineer who, owing to ill-health, left England 

 in 1872 for Colombia, where he made an excellent collection of the birds 

 of that country, and their eggs. The collection was described by Dr. 

 Sclater and Mr. Salvin in the " Proceedings " of the Zoological Society 

 for 1879 (pp. 486-550, pis. xli.-xliii.). The new species were Cyphorhinus 

 dichrous, Buarremon elseprorus, Automolus ignohilis, Grallaria rufo- 

 cinerea and Brachygalba salmoni.

 The two latter collections were duplicates from those sent to Mr.

ornithologist, and when at a tutor's at Finchley he began his collecting.
