 who exchanged away a good many specimens, but a fair Dumber were

Anderson (Dr. John). 



200 birds collected during the Expedition through Burma towards 

 i*un-nan in 1807, 1875-6. [1870. 4. 7, 1-200.] 



These collections were described by Dr. Anderson in his large work 

 (2 vols. 4to) entitled "Anatomical and Zoological Researches, comprising 

 an Account of the Zoological Results of the two Expeditions to Western 

 Sun-nan in 1868 and 187."")." The first set of specimens went to the 

 Calcutta Museum, of which he was then Director, and the second set of 

 200 birds passed into the hands of the British Museum, which had up to 

 that time no extensive scries from Burma: 13 species were new to the 

 collection, and there were three co-types of new species described by 

 Dr. Anderson.

See Bartlett, A. D. ; Siiarpe, R. Bowdler ; Stevens, S. 



Swedish naturalist, born in Wermeland in 1827. Joined Gaiton's 

 expedition to Damara Land in 1850. His collections were sent to 

 Mr. A. D. Bartlett, afterwards Superintendent of the Zoological Gardens, 

 but at that time a dealer in natural history objects. Many of the birds 

 obtained on this first expedition were dispersed before any catalogue of 

 them was made, and a portion of this collection was purchased by Mr. 

 G. A. Frank, the well-known dealer of Amsterdam; but about 100 

 specimens passed into the hands of Mr. H. E. Strickland, and are now in 

 the Cambridge Museum. 



Dr. P. L. Sclater, who commenced his zoological career under the 

 asgis of Strickland, joined the latter in a description of this remnant of 

 Andersson's first consignment. A memoir, wdiich was entitled a " List 

 of a Collection of Birds procured by C. J. Andersson in the Damara 

 country, with notes," was published in Jardine's "Contributions to 

 Ornithology" for 1852, and the following new species were described : —
