The Fifteenth Day's Sale took place on Tuesday, May 28, 

 1819. It still consisted of Birds—" Herons, Ducks, Wood- 

 peckers, Bee-eaters, &c." 



A certain Captain Laskey bought several lots, as did a 

 Mr. Molinari, who had purchased a few lots in the sales of the 

 previous days. Lots 7, 14, 37, 39, 41, 52 are marked as "sold," 

 having apparently been disposed of before the sale commenced.

 Vienna (£2 2s.). 



Lot 9. Beautiful Heron; unknown. Bought by Prof. 

 Temminck (13s.).

 brook (21s.). He also bought several other lots, presumably

 Professor Newton's copy adds : " From Tristan d'Acunha." Lord 

 Stanley bought this lot for £6. 



Lot 54, Spotted Shag, is entered twice. [See No. 64.] 



Lot 59. A Harlequin Duck, A. Histrionica. A MS. note 

 in Professor Newton's copy adds : " Killed in Orkneys." It 

 was bought by Dr. Adams for Edinburgh for a guinea.

 is entered in Professor Newton's copy as " Siberia." Swainson
