10 THE BIRDS OF SUFFOLK. 



The lataMrXD. Hoy, Stoke-hy-Nay land, who died in 1839, 

 and to whose papers such frequent reference is made, formed 

 a very valuable Collection at that place, in great part from 

 the immediate neighbourhood. Some of the specimens, as 

 his sister Mrs. Lescher informs me, were obtained at ( )rford 

 and Aldeburgh. Most of the birds are now in possession 

 of Mrs. Lescher, Boyles Court, Hrentwood. A small number 

 still remain at Stoke, in his brother Mr. Hoy's possession. 

 The Collection at Brentwood has been described at length 

 by Dr. Bree in the Field for October and November 1867. 

 There are also preserved at Boyles Court three copies from 

 a MS. catalogue, made about 1840 by the late Vlr. 

 Seaman, of Ipswich ; the localities of the birds given are 

 extremely few. This is the more to be regretted, as this 

 Collection, consisting of several hundred specimens stuffed 

 by Mr. Hoy himself, is probably the finest ever formed in 

 Suffolk. Some of the birds came from various parts of 

 Great Britain, and some from abroad. 



(7.) The Collection formerly belonging to the Messrs. 

 Kewton of Elveden, containing a large number of 

 local specimens, is now in the Cambridge Museum (see 

 above). 



(8.) The Rev. Julian Tuck, formerly of Tostock, where 

 his Collection remains. Most of the birds were collected in 

 Suffolk by himself, and many have been published in the 

 Zoologist (see above, under District 2). 



The Dennis Collection at Bury is no longer private, but 

 is contained in the Museum (see above). 



(d.) Private Collections not in the county : 



(1.) The principal part of Mr. Hoy's Collection, made 

 in the County, is now at Brentwood, in Essex (see 

 above). 



(2. and 3.) The fine Collection of theMessrs. J.H. Gurney, 

 sen. and jun., at Northrepps, and that of Mr. Stevenson, at 

 Norwich, have been alluded 10 under District 1. 



(4.) The excellent Collection of British Birds belonging 

 to Mr. Newcome, Feltwell Hall, Norfolk, was formed by 

 his father the late Mr. E. C. Newcome, who died in 1871.
