Chubb (C). 



See Eeynolds, H. 

 Mr. Chubb has been associated with my work in the British Museum 

 for the past twenty-two years, in fact ever since the Natural Historj 

 collections were transferred from Bloomsbury to Kensington. By incessant 

 work inside the Museum and by devoting all his private time to the 

 study of birds, he has acquired a knowledge of the class Aves which has 

 been of the greatest assistance to myself and ornithologists visiting the 

 Museum, while his knowledge of ornithological literature is probably 

 unrivalled. He has been of the greatest help to me in the preparation 

 of the concluding volumes of the "Catalogue of Birds," and lias assisted 

 me materially for several years in the compilation of the " Zoological 

 Record." Mr. Chubb prepared the " List of the Birds of Uganda " for Sir 

 Harry Johnston's great work on that country. He has also written a 

 Synopsis and Index to the contents of the eleven volumes of " Stray 

 Feathers."
