2 CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF PREY. 



ussheri, Governor Ussher's Owl, then unique, was added in 

 1871. Huhua shelleyi from West Africa, presented by 

 Dr. R. B. Sliarpe in 1872. Archibuteo hemiptilopus , pur- 

 chased in 1874; Dissodectes zoniventris in 1876. Spilornis 

 minimus, presented in 1877 by the Marquis of Twecddale, 

 confined to one group of islands, and still very rare. 

 Dryotriorchis spectabilis was contributed in 1881 by the 

 Zoological Society, in whose Gardens it had lived about a 

 year; Machaerirhamphus alcinus by my father in 1882; 

 and three new American species given by the Smithsonian 

 Institution, which always maintained very good relations 

 with Norwich. Every year witnessed something which 

 rendered, the collection more complete, generally either given 

 by my father or through his intervention, for he had many 

 friends who took an interest in the growing collection, such 

 as Jules Verreaux, A. S. Taylor of California, G. R. Gray, 

 Prof. Newton, Mr. Gould, Dr. Hartlaub, Mr. Allan Hume, 

 Mr. Sclater, Mr. Wallace, and Thomas Ayres of Natal, the 

 last named of Avhom, in 1857 and 1858, sent twenty-seven 

 species of Raptores to the Museum, and several more 

 afterwards. 



It is not intended here to give a biography of my Father : 

 an admirable obituary notice by one who knew him well is to 

 be found in the 'Ibis ' (1890, p. 392), and an excellent and 

 more extended memoir, by Mr. T. Southwell, is printed in 

 the ' Norwich Naturalists' Transactions/ v. p. 156. But I 

 have thought a list or recapitulation of his principal papers 

 on Raptorial Birds would be acceptable, and they are here set 

 down in order of date : a list of all his papers on all subjects 

 up to 1883 is given in the Royal Society's Catalogue.
