Captain George Ernest Shelley is the youngest son of the late Sir 

 Timothy Shelley, and from his boyhood was devoted to the study of 

 ornithology. He made four expeditions to Egypt, and has written the 

 standard work on the birds of that country, in 1870. He has since devoted 

 himself to the study of African birds, and has visited the Gold Coast, 

 the Cape Colony and Natal. On consenting to write a volume of the 

 ' Catalogue of Birds,' he parted with his private collection to the British 

 Museum, which thus acquired one of the most celebrated collections of 

 modem times.
