;44 Zoology. 



This contains the type of Nothocercus bonapartei, Gray, from Aragua 

 Valley, Venezuela. 



No list of Mr. Dyson's collections appears to have been published, but 

 a species of Bucco was named after him by Dr. Sclater (P.Z.S., 1855, 

 p. 193). Some account of his life is published in the Proceedings of the 

 Manchester Field Club (vol. i., pt. 2, 1900-1901), cf. Britten, Journ. 

 Botany, 1905, p. 134. See also the « Naturalist,' 1857, pp. 43, 44. 



Earl (Percy). 



30 birds from New Zealand. Purchased. [45. 1. 13, 1-30.] 



3 nests of New Zealand birds. Presented. [45. 3. 6, 2-4.] 



One of the Weka Rails presented by Mr. Earl was described by G. R. 



Gray in his list of the " Birds of New Zealand " as Ocydromus earli (Ibis, 



1862, p. 238).

Eaton (Rev. A. E.). 



Mr. Eaton was the naturalist to the Transit of Venus expedition, and 

 was stationed in Kerguelen Land. He did excellent work, and his field- 

 notes on the habits of the birds are full of interest. The ornithological 

 collections made by the expedition are described by me in the Report 

 published by the Royal Society (Phil. Trans., vol. clxviii., pp. 101-162, 

 pis. vi.-viii.). The eggs were described by Mr. Howard Saunders (i.e., pp. 

 163-166). 



The Teal of Kerguelen Island proved to be new to science, and was 

 named by me Querquedula eatoni ("Ibis," 1875, p. 328 ; figured Phil. Trans., 

 clxviii., pi. vi.). It has since been made the type of the genus Dafilula.

Edwardes (Hon. W.) [Lord Kensington]. 



126 birds from St. Brides', South Wales. [88. 11. 14, 1-14; 88. 12, 

 13, 1-22; 89. 12. 17, 1-57 ; 91. 4. 28, 1-33.] 



Lord Kensington was endeavouring to procure for the Museum a 

 complete series of birds from South Wales. He went with his regiment 

 to South Africa, was severely wounded during the Boer War, and subse- 

 quently died of enteric fever at Bloemfontein. He also presented the 

 nesting groups of the Carrion Crow and the Shag. 



Egypt, Exploration Fund (through Professor W. M. Flinders 

 Petrie). 

 Bones of a Crane from Egypt. Presented. [1904. 9. 8, 1.] 

 Many bones of mummified Mammals and Birds. 



Elliot (Dr. Edmund A. S.). 



10 Starlings (Stumus vulgaris) from Devonshire. Presented. [89. 

 3. 8, 1-10.] 



When I was working at the distribution and migration of the 

 Common Starling, Dr. Elliot procured me some interesting specimens. 

 He is a well-known authority on the ornithology of Devonshire, and is
