Bullock's Museum. [About 1820] 



Some few specimens, but unfortunately very few, were purchased at 

 the sale of "Bullock's Museum," which existed in London during the 

 early years of last century, and contained many specimens described by 

 early writers on Mammals. The majority of the animals were dispersed 

 abroad, many interesting and historical specimens being thereby lost. 

 An account of the contents is given in the " Companion to Mr. Bullock's 

 London Museum," 1812. See postea, p. 208. 



Of those that can be identified, the most notable is the typical scalp 

 and horns of Addax nasomaculatus, described by De Blainville when in 

 England in 1816. 



Burchell (Dr. William J.). [1817] 



A number of Mammals obtained by this famous traveller during his 

 explorations in South Africa, and referred to in his " Travels in the 

 Interior of Southern Africa," 1822-1824. 



"A list of quadrupeds brought by Mr. Burchell from Southern Africa 

 and presented by him to the British Museum on the 30th of September, 

 1817," was published in pamphlet form about 1818, and contains a list of 

 the specimens, their exact localities, dates, and native names. Many of 

 Burchell's specimens were spoilt, owing to defective methods of conserva- 

 tion ; but others are still preserved, or at least their skulls and horns. 

 The most interesting still existing is the type of the Brindled Gnu 

 (Connochxtes taurinus, Burch.), and the frontlet of that of the Sassaby 

 (Damaliscus lunatus, Burch.). The type of Eg_uus burchelli, Gray, has 

 unfortunately disappeared.
