354 Mr. W. E. de Winton o?i Mammals from 



the caie and trouble that was taken in making the collection. 

 Considering the nature of the operations, which kept tlie 

 column constantly on the move, the number of specimens 

 brought home is very creditable.

 small mammals to the British Museum, and Col. Northcott 

 has also added some of his larger trophies and a number of 

 birds to the National Collection.
