30 Zoology. 



Doubleday (Edwakd). [1839] 



17 Mammals, mostly from Wilmington, Delaware. Presented. 

 Including the type of Sciurus neglectus, Gray. 



Douglas (the Hon. John). [1884] 



The mummified skeleton of a Torres Straits Islander. Presented. 



Drummond (D.). [1837] 



A number of Mammals from North America, many of which were 

 described as new by Dr. Gray. The exact localities were unfortunately 

 not preserved, and many of the specimens have since been eliminated as 

 worthless. 



The earliest examples seem to have been received from Sir W. J. 

 Hooker, then at Glasgow, in addition to a number of Tasmanian 

 Mammals. Later specimens were acquired by the Zoological Society, 

 and were received with the latter collection in 1855. 



Du Chaillu (Paul). [1861] 



West African traveller and writer; author of "Explorations and 

 Adventures in Equatorial Africa," 1861. 



89 Mammals from the Gaboon, many of them described by himself 

 (Proc. Boston Soc. N. H., vii., p. 363, 1860), and others, especially the 

 Antelopes, by Dr. Gray. Purchased. 



Among these specimens, the first received from the Gaboon, are the 

 types of Potamogale velox, Du Chaillu, Nannosciurus minutus (Du Chaillu) 

 Cephahphus nigrifrons and G. longiceps, Gray, besides a number of Gorillas 

 and Chimpanzees, illustrating Mr. Du Chaillu's writings on the subject. 



Also a number of human skulls from the same region. 



Dunn (Surgeon-Major H. N.). [1900] 



90 Mammals from the Soudan and Somali Land, including examples of 

 Kobus marix, and the types of 12 new species. Presented. 



Dyson (D.). [1847] 



19 Mammals from Venezuela and Honduras, including a number of 

 types of small Mammals described by Dr. Gray. 



East India Company. [1841] 



241 Mammals from various parts of India, and also a number from 

 Shoa, collected by Sir W. Cornwall! s Harris. 



From 1841 onwards the Hon. East India Company was a frequent con- 

 tributor to the collections, after its own Museum had been supplied. In 

 its turn that Museum was given up in 1879, and its contents transferred 

 to the British Museum. (See below, " India Museum.") 



Eaton (Rev. A. E.). [1894] 



21 small Mammals from Biskra, Algeria, including the type of 

 Macroscelides deserti. Presented. 



This collection has been of the utmost service in working out later 

 collections from Tripoli and Egypt. 



Egypt Exploration Committee. [1886] 



34 human and other remains from ancient tombs in Egypt. Pre- 

 sented. 



Many of these have been referred to by Prof. W. Flinders Petrie and 

 other writers.
