One of the best known of the British school of naturalists. He had a 

 wonderful collection of British birds and Lepidoptera, some of the latter, 

 obtained by himself in past years, having now become extinct. ' In 1858 

 he gave many valuable specimens when Mr. G. B. Gray was trying to 

 renovate the British exhibition series, and at his death left to the Museum 

 his British specimen of the Siberian Thrush and some other rare birds. 

 He had an extraordinary collection of albinos, which was dispersed by 

 auction after his death. [Cf. Harting, Zoologist, 1899, pp. 401-422,
