NOTE. 



/;/ the Appendix, Mr. Ernst Hartert, Director of 

 the Tring Museum, has given an interesting account of 

 my collection of African birds, and his description of 

 rarities and novelties forms an important contribution to 

 science. 



The Honourable Walter Rothschild has kindly contributed 

 to cli. xxii. a description of some new species of African 

 lepidoptcra. In the same chapter some valuable hints to 

 collectors ivill be found in an extract from a letter from 

 Dr. Karl Jordan. 



Mr. IV. E. de Winton, F.Z.S., the authority on "Small 

 Mammals " at the South Kensington Museum, has 

 courteously added to ch. .vx. a scientific list of those 

 captured by me.
