Birds. 325 



Colonel Butler is one of the most artistic preservers of specimens thai 

 I have ever known, every single skin of his collections having been 

 prepared with the most scrupulous care. His entire Indian Beries, save a 

 few skins which he presented direct to our Museum, passed into tin: 

 hands of Mr. Allan Hume, and some important papers were published 

 on the collections (" Stray Feathers," iii., pp. 437-500 ; ix., pp. ;:»;7 Hi'). 



During the first Boer War he served with his regiment in Natal, and 

 made a collection of birds, now in the Shelley collection. Interesting 

 notes on these birds were published in the "Zoologist" for 1882 (pp. 

 165-4G0). 



Colonel Butler has also published two very useful memoirs, viz., 

 " Catalogue of the Birds of Sind, Cutch, etc.," 1879 (pp. 1-83), " Catalogue 

 of the Birds of the southern portion of the Bombay Presidency ," 1880 

 (pp. 1-114).

A Swiss naturalist, who was for some years attached to the Leyden 

 Museum as Professor Schlegel's ornithological assistant. He has travelled 

 extensively in Liberia, where, after enduring great hardships, he pn 

 a fine collection of mammals and birds from this region of West Africa. 

 From this celebrated exploration the British Museum obtained a lew 

 duplicates through the agency of Mr. G. A. Frank (cf Biittikofer 

 " lteisebilde," 2 vols., published in 1890). 



He also conducted an expedition into the mountains of Dutch N.W. 

 Borneo (cf. Notes, Leyden Museum, vii., viii., x., xi., xii.). He is now
