They are beautifully mounted by Mr. Gunu of Norwich 

 with the natural backgrounds and surroundings. 



Minute details of the circumstances of the capture of 

 each specimen were recorded by Mr. Ogilvie in a MS. 

 catalogue, and it is proposed to prepare a printed catalogue 

 from this for })ublication. The collection is a most valuable 

 addition to tlie Ipswich Museum and will greatly add to its 

 attractiveness. 



At the same time Mr. Ogilvie had made a very extensive 

 collection cf British Birds in skin, chiefly among the Shore- 

 and Water-birds. This collection, consisting of over 1200 

 specimens, has been presented to the British Museum by 

 Mrs. Ogilvie, and is a most vahiable addition to the 

 bird-room. The collection of British Birds in skin in 

 the British Museum has never been worthy of that 

 institution, and the Ogilvie collection will certainly do 

 much to remedy this defect.
