On Birds from Efulen in Camaroon. 591 



My specimens of Erithacus rubecula from the Azores are 

 slightly smaller and paler than British examples. But the 

 bird appeared to be quite identical in habits with our Red- 

 breast. 



We reached Cowes on May 8th, after an absence of nearly 

 five months. During the voyage I had made with my 

 own hands about 500 bird-skins referable to about 120 

 species, of which three are believed to be new to science. 

 (See Bull. B. O. C. xiv. p. 95, June 15th, 1904.) 



In concluding my notes on the birds collected during the 

 cruise, I wish to offer my very best thanks to the Earl of 

 Crawford for his kindness in again taking me with him as 

 Naturalist; also to Mr. C. R. Pawson and Dr. R.C.Macwatters, 

 who accompanied Lord Crawford during the voyage, for the 

 help which they frequently gave me in shooting specimens. 

 I have worked out my collection of birds at the British 

 Museum ; and I tender my very best thanks to Dr. Bowdler 

 Sharpe, Mr. W. Ogilvie-Grant, and their excellent assistants 

 Messrs. Chubb, Wells, and Render, for the help which they 

 have given me while doing so. 



Lord Crawford has presented this West-Indian collection, 

 as he did that obtained during our former voyage round the 

 World, to the British Museum.

In this paper I continue the list of the birds forwarded 

 by Mr. G-. L. Bates during the last eighteen months. His 

 collections are of very great importance to science, and 

 I have included in the present memoir some valuable notes
