Colonel Rippon has added greatly to our knowledge of the mountain 

 fauna of Burma and the adjacent countries, and has spent all his spare 

 time for several years past in explorations in the Shan States, the Chin 

 Hills, and has even penetrated into Western Yun-nan. In consequence, 

 our knowledge of the avifauna of these regions has been greatly increased, 

 and a large number of new species, some of them being of exceptional 

 beauty and interest, has been added to the collection of the British 

 Museum, to which Colonel Rippon has been a most generous donor.
