Richardson {Major A. J.). 



11 Mammals, mostly from the Transvaal and Orange Kiver Colony, 

 obtained during the Boer war. Presented. 



Richardson (Dr., afterwards Sir John). [1837] 



Author of " Fauna Boreali- Americana : Quadrupeds," 1829. 



A large number of specimens, mostly from North America, presented 

 at various dates, many of them representing species described by 

 himself. 



Many of these specimens, as being types of early North American 

 species, are of the utmost interest and importance, and in the recent exact 

 study of North American Mammals, have constantly had to be referred 

 to for comparison with modern material. 



The types of Sorex palustris and S. richardsoni, Neotoma drummondi, 

 Spermophilus franklini, Rich., Putorius longicaudata, cicognani and 

 richardsoni, Bonap., and others are included in the series. 



Rickett (C. B.). [1894] 



162 Mammals from Foochow and Kuatun, South-East China. Pre- 

 sented.

115 from Espirito Santo; 164 from Bahia; 126 from Pernambuco, 

 and 112 from Para. Presented by Oldfield Thomas. 



About 1200 specimens in all. 



Although the Parana and Sao Paulo specimens have been purchased, 

 the expedition was materially aided financially by the generosity of Sir 

 William Ingram and the Hon. Walter Rothschild. 



Mr. Robert is one of the best of modern collectors, and has been highly 

 successful in obtaining valuable material, among others the types of 

 Lonchophylla (g. n.) mordax, Sciurus ingrami, Coendou roberti, Oxymy- 

 terus qusestor and roberti. 



Mr. Robert also accompanied Dr. Forsyth Major on the latter's 

 expedition to Madagascar in 1894-96, and much of its success was due 

 to his help.
