268 FORESTRY Oh WEST AFRICA. 



During my stay at the Gambia, I made collections, 

 in birds, beetles, butterflies, moths, shells, reptiles, 

 batrachians and fishes. For lists of the three first- 

 named I am deeply indebted to my friend Captain. 

 G. F. Shelley, F.Z.S., &c.; and to Mr. Herbert Druce, 

 F.Z.S., &c., .for that of the moths ; while for the. 

 shells, &c., I am grateful for the courtesy and co- 

 operation of Dr. Giinther and Mr. Edgar Smith of 

 the British Museum, South Kensington. 



As Appendices to this Work, I have decided that, 

 the publication of such lists, which have the advantage 

 of " definite locality," would be valuable and useful.
