MEMOIR OF THE LATE FREDERICK BOND, 417 
date and only winged, lived for some time in the aviary of 
Mr. F. Barlow, of Cambridge, an old friend of Mr. Bond. 
If a full account of this remarkable collection were to be 
written, the numerous cases of “varieties” would require a 
chapter to themselves. We know of only two other collections 
of such abnormalities in this country which are at all comparable 
to that of Mr. Bond, namely, those owned by Mr. Whitaker, of 
Rainworth, Notts, and Mr. John Marshall, of Belmont, Taunton. 
We are unable to say which of these three collections of white 
and pied varieties contains the largest number of specimens, but 
it will suffice for our present purpose to notice a few only of the 
more remarkable forms which have been so carefully preserved 
by our deceased friend. Two Jays, one white the other pied, are 
in Case 20. Pied and white varieties of the Rook and Jackdaw 
(Case 84); a white Magpie (Case 35). Amongst the smaller 
birds may be mentioned Case 108, containing albino specimens 
of the House Sparrow, Redpoll, Linnet, Tree Pipit, Bullfinch, 
Yellowhammer, and Greenfinch, all from the collection of the 
late Mr. Hugh Hanley, of the 1st Life Guards. From the same 
collection came Case 116, containing three Starlings, one pure 
white, one silver-grey, one dark cream with a few spots, a pure 
white Bunting (Emberiza miliaria), a white Sand Martin, and a 
white Hedgesparrow. Another white variety of the Common 
Bunting, from Foulmire, Cambridgeshire, with a white example 
of the Black-headed Bunting from Berkshire, and presented by 
the late Mr. Gould, will be found in Case 121. 
Case 109, with varieties of the Linnet, Yellowhammer, and 
Chaffinch (all taken near Woolwich), a white Linnet (near 
London), a cream-coloured Sparrow from Cambridge, and two 
abnormally-marked Goldfinches and a Linnet from Brighton. 
Case 110 includes six varieties, one pure white, of the Starling, 
from Leicester, Freshwater, Lewes, Darlington, and Warwick 
Castle. In Case 111, besides four abnormally-coloured Sky 
Larks, are several varieties of species usually accounted rare by 
collectors, and seldom found to present much variation in 
plumage, such as the Tawny Pipit, Shore Lark, and Lapland 
Bunting. Apropos of this last-named, a case of Buntings (134) 
contains a male Lapland Bunting, the third of its kind recorded 
to have been obtained in England,.which was taken by a London 
birdcatcher in Copenhagen Fields in September, 1828, as noticed
