458 Zoology. 



This is a very remarkable series. Every specimen was mounted by 

 Mr. 0. T. Baron, the well-known traveller-naturalist, on the spot, when 

 the specimens were shot by him. With the exception of Mr. Rothschild's 

 private collection of Hamming-Birds, mostly mounted by Mr. Baron in 

 the field, no Museum possesses such a beautiful exhibition of Humming- 

 Birds as the British Museum, augmented as it is by the preparations 

 designed to show the structure of this remarkable Order of birds, as 

 prepared for public exhibition by the late Sir William Flower.
