Otis macqueeni, and that full particulars of the event would appear in his 
forthcoming work. 
In the narrative of his journey, ‘ Reise nach West-Sibirien,’ published at 
Berlin in 1879, he merely mentions (p. 244) that he obtained eggs of this 
Bustard; but in his account of the Scientific Results of it which appeared at 
Vienna in the same year he described (Verhandlungen der k.k. zoologisch- 
botanisch Gesellschaft, 1879, pp. 241, 242) the single specimen obtained by his 
party, stating :—‘ Das obern verzeichnete Weibchen wurde von dem Herrn 
Polizeimeister yon Semipalatinsk beim Nest (welches drei Kier enthalten hatte) 
erlegt. Ich selbst beobachtete die Art von 3. Juni in der gennanten Steppe 
auf dem Wege nach Maitjerek, indem ich ein jedenfalls briitendes Weibchen 
aufscheuchte.”” What became of the other eggs I do not know. ]

§ 3234. Siv.—Tangier. From M. Favier, 1845. 
Of eleven, from M. Favier, in September, 1845. These are of the 
same lot as that figured in 1841 by Mr. Yarrell [Brit. Birds, ed. 1. 
ii, p. 5], for Mr. Drummond-Hay, the Consul, procured them from 
M. Favier, as his son, the present Consul, informed me, They vary 
very greatly, hardly two being alike. I gave one to Mr. Yarrell, 
and exchanged one with Dr. Pitman, Mr. Wilmot, Mr. Salmon, and 
Mr. Tuke. 
(Two others Mr. Wolley gave to my brother and myself in 1851. They 
are included in the six above mentioned. | 
§ 3235. Three. 
Tangier. From M. Favier, 1847. 
Of five, received in February, 1847. One to Mr. H. Milner and 
one to Mr. Bond. 
[It is possible that one of these may have been received later. | 
§ 3236. Zwenty.—Tangier. From M. Favier, through Mr. 
Willams. 
[Twelve of these were laid by Mr. Wolley in his cabinet, having been 
selected apparently for the series he intended to keep, but none of them was 
entered by him in his Egg-book ; all, however, bear M. Favier’s well-known 
label, and were doubtless received from him by Mr. Williams, most likely in 
1849 or 1850. Four more were sold at Mr, Stevens’s, 31 May, 1860—two to 
Mr. Whitely, one to Mr, Rake, and another to Mr. Sealy. |
