cf. also the Ordnance Survfy of Sinai, 1873. In 1870 he made a 

 successful expedition to the Magdalena Valley in Colombia, and brought 

 back a good series of birds, SynaVaxis wi/atti being named after him by 

 Dr. Sclater (cf. Ibis, 1871, pp. 113-131, 319-335, 373-384. He travelled 

 to all quarters of the glol e in order to procure appropriate sketches for 

 his ]iictures of scenery to illustrate the jdates of the "Monograph of the 

 Swallows," to which book the present writer supplied the letter-press. 

 His bonk on " British Birds" (2 vols., 4to, 1894) was a labour of love to 

 him, and he took jjreat delight in the production of the plates, all of which, 

 like those of the "Monograph of the Swallows," were drawn on stone by 

 himself.

Colonel Yerbury's donation of Aden birds was a very valuable one, as 

 the Museum had not a good series of birds from that locality. He has 

 writttn an important paper on the ornithology of the district ('Ibis,' 

 1886, pp. 11-24, pi. ii.). .

This collection contained a number of types from the voyage of the 

 Beagle and otb r early expeditions. A few of the type-specimens were- 

 a]i|)arently missed by Mr. G. K. Gray, and found their way into other
