entirety, which was done. The first set Dr. Wallace retained for himself, 

 and the second set was to go to the British Museum. These separate 

 series were selected by the traveller, and the types of the new species 

 remained in the care of Mr. Samuel Stevens, until the return of 

 Dr. Wallace. When he came back to England after his wonderful 

 expedition to the Malay Archipelago, he settled in London, and I 

 remember having an introduction to him from a friend, and visiting him 

 in the Gloucester Road, Regent's Park. I was then working at my 

 "Monograph of the Kingfishers," and I remember his showing me his 

 private°collection of these birds — many species of Tamjsiptera, which I 

 had never seen before; and his generous conduct in lending me his 

 specimens to figure in my "Monograph" will never be forgotten by me. 

 Never had any tyro such a good friend as Dr. Wallace proved to be in 

 my case.
