From Sir Richard Burton, the famous traveller and Orientalist, the 

 Museum received its first collections from the Camaroons, with some new 

 species (Serinus burtoni, Callene Isabellas, etc.) described by G. R. Gray 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (3; x., pp. 443-445). 



In conjunction with Capt. Cameron he went to the Gold Coast, and 

 the two explorers presented a small collection from the Wasa district.

Mr. Bury was the Political Agent on the Aden Hinterland frontier, and 

 has for some years past been exploring parts of Southern Arabia, where 

 his knowledge of Arabic dialects has enabled him to travel as a native. 

 During these expeditions he has made some collections of birds, which 

 have been described by Drs. Lorenz and Hellmayr (Denkschr. Akad. Wien, 

 lxxi., pp. 103-21, Taf. 1 ; Bull. B. O. C, xii., p. 80 ; xiii., p. 21) and by 

 Mr. Ogilvie-Grant. His most notable discoveries have been a new species 

 of Bhynchostruthus, Fringillaria tdthaJas, Serinus rothschildi, etc. \_Cf. 

 Grant, Nov. Zool., vii., pp. 243-273, 591, pi. x.]

 Son of Colonel A. E. Butler, and, like his father, a first-rate preserver 

 of mammals and birds. He has worked chiefly in the upper regions of 

 Egypt and the Nile, and has contributed to the "Ibis" for 1895 an 

 important paper on the ornithology of the Egyptian Soudan (cf. " Ibis," 

 1905, pp. 301-401). He is now Superintendent of Game Preservation 

 under the Egyptian Government.
