THE BIRDS OF SUFFOLK. 9 



the time of the late Lord Hertford, is considerable ; some 

 few are published in the Zoologist. 



(3.) Lord Eendleshara, M.P., Kendlesham Fall.— This 

 Collection, which consists principally of British birds, is 

 particularly rich in the raptorial and aquatic tribes from 

 the neighbourhood. 



Mr. W. P.J.Phillips, of Melton Grange — An excellent 

 local Collection, containing also specimens from various 

 parts of Britain. 



Mr. Hillen, Woodbridge. — A Collection which, though 

 not very extensive now, contains some extremely rare birds. 

 Mr. Hillen has parted with others. 



Mr. Cobbold has a small Collection from the neighbour- 

 hood, preserved in the Seckford Reading Room, Woodbridge. 



(4.) I have not seen any Collection in this district. 



(5.) _ Mr. G. Holt Wilson, Redgrave Hall.— A small local 

 Collection, containing some very fine specimens. 



Sir Edward Kerrison, Bart., Oakley Park. — A fine 

 Collection of British birds, containing a large number from 

 Suffolk ; many from the immediate neighbourhood. 



Lord Henniker, Thornham Hall. — A small Collection, 

 containing several rare birds from the neighbourhood. 



(6.) Mr. Biddell, M.P., Lavenham Hall. — A small 

 Collection, but few of the birds having localities. It 

 was principally formed by the late Mr. Scott, of Cockfield, 

 and most of the specimens, I am told by his sister, 

 Mrs. Peecock, came from Mildenhall. I endeavoured to 

 obtain further particulars from his son, the Eev. C. Scott, 

 who however was unable to supply any. 



Captain Bence, Kentwell Hall. — A small Collection, the 

 localities known ; they are mostly in Suffolk. 



The late Mr. W. D. King, of Sudbury.— This Collection, 

 until lately preserved at Sudbury, is alluded to above, and 

 consists principally of specimens obtained, it is believed, in 

 the neighbourhood, and mentioned in his paper. Yery few 

 of the localities are distinctly known. These birds are now 

 in possession of his nephew Mr. John Grubb, 112, Trinity 

 Eoad, Birchfield, Birmingham.
