Owing to the disastrous loss of the great mass of Sir Stamford Baffles's 

 collections by the burning of the Fame, the specimens actually 

 received in England form but an insignificant proportion of those 

 obtained by the founder of the Zoological Society. Happily, besides 

 those presented by Lady Baffles, Sir Stamford sent a certain number 

 through Dr. Horsfield to the Museum of the East India Company, and 

 thesertransferred to the British Museum in 1879, help to represent the 

 work he did in this respect for the benefit of science. (See " Memoir of 

 the Life and Public Services of T. S. Baffles," by his widow, 1830.)
