A nestling of the Red-necked Phalarope {Phalaropus liyperoreus) from

30 birds from Cyprus. Purchased. [1904. 4. 18, 1-30.] 



Mr. Glazner has made several interesting collections in Cyprus, and 

 discovered some new species in the island. The Museum has received 

 from him a good series of Farus Cypriotes, Pisorhina cypria, Garrulus 

 glazneri, and other rare birds. 

 Glossop {Commander John C. T.). 



9 eggs from the Campbell Islands. Presented. [1904. 10. 18, 1-9.] 



Godeffroy Bros. 



131 birds from the Pacific Islands and the Bismarck Archipelago. 

 Purchased. [77. 11. 17, 1-52 ; 78. 10. 23, 17-28; 79. 6. 2, 1-4; 81. 11. 

 22, 1-11; 82. 7. 5, 1-30; 82. 8. 19, 1-21.] 



This well-known firm of Hamburg merchants employed a number of 

 collectors in their service, of whom the most celebrated were Andrew 

 Garratt, Kubary, Kleinschmidt, and others whose names are household 

 words among ornithologists. Although the collections of fishes came to 

 the British Museum (see Report on Fish Collections), only a few duplicates 

 of birds reached England, but there were some very rare species among 

 them, 26 being previously unrepresented in the national collection. 

 Godman (Frederic Du Cane), D.C.L., F.B.S. 



Trustee of the British Museum. 



[See also Salvin, Osbert.] 



N.B. — I have not separated the names of these two distinguished 

 naturalists as donors to the British Museum. Mr. Salvin's name will 

 always be associated with that of Dr. F. D. Godman, and in my notes I 

 have pointed out where the donations were jointly made. 



8 birds from the Azores. Presented. [78. 7. 30, 5-12.] 



These were a few duplicates from his Azorean collection, and added 

 4 species to the Museum, including a specimen of the new Bullfinch 

 (Pyrrhula murina) discovered by him. This species is now nearly extinct. 

 It was at one time so common that it descended in large numbers on the 

 fruit-gardens and did great damage. Unfortunately, in suppressing its 

 ravages the species has been all but wiped out. 



1914 specimens from various parts of the Old World. Presented by 

 Messrs. Salvin and Godman. [79. 4. 5, 1-1858; 75. 4. 15, 1-50; 

 83. 4. 21, 1-6.] 



This is a very interesting and historical collection, adding 4 species 

 new to the collection and the type of a species new to science; it 

 proved a welcome gift to the Museum, which at that time possessed 

 a very poor collection of Palasarctic birds. There were numbers of 

 interesting specimens procured by well-known naturalists in different 

 parts of Europe. Included in this donation were birds from Northern 

 Norway, obtained by Dr. F. D. Godman and his brother, Mr. Percy Godman 

 (c/. " Notes on the Birds observed at Bodo," " Ibis," 1861, p. 77), and the 

 birds collected in Tunis by Mr. Osbert Salvin (c/. " Birds'-nesting in the 

 Eastern Atlas," " Ibis," 1859, pp. 174, 302, 352). There were also numbers
