The first collections were made by Mr. Lord during the time of his 

 employment as naturalist to the Boundary Commission. He seems to 

 have stayed in British Columbia after the labours of the Commission were 

 over, and to have made further collections which be gave to the British 

 Museum (cf. bis book, "The Naturalist in Vancouver Island and B 

 Columbia," 2 vols., 8vo, London, 1866).

Sir Hugh Low was an active collector in all branches of natural 

 history during the many years which he spent in the .Malay Archi. i 

 as Inspector at Labuan and afterwards as British Resident at Perak, at 

 which latter place he established the Museum. I described one v ( bis 

 Collections from Labuan in the ■ Proceedings' for 1875, but owing to 

 carelessness on the part of his agent, this consignment was h. 

 to me as being all from Labuan, whereas a considerable portion of it 

 from the mainland of Borneo, mostly from Lumbidan. G 

 on being appointed to Labuan, made extensive collections on I 



and in the mainland, and in describing this series and a:, 

 by Sir \Y. JJ. Treacher, I was able to give a more 

 of the Avifauna of the island (cf. P.Z.S., L879, pp. 317 364, pL 

 and to expunge from my previous list many hypothetical 



Governor Cssher pays the following tribute to Sir ! N : — 



"Natural history in Borneo owes a large debt to him, and Ell 

 well known to science. His labours in every department i 

 botany, as well as his numerous excursions and travels in Borneo, and his 

 intimate acquaintance with the various tribes of the great island, i 

 him the foremost authority on all matters connected with that | 

 Malay Archipelago.* 1
