cf. also the Ordnance Survey of Sinai, 1873. In 1870 he made a 

 successful expedition to the Magdalena Valley in Colombia, and brought 

 back a good series of birds, Synallaxis wyatti being; named after him by 

 Dr. Sclater (cf. Ibis, 1871, pp. 113-131, 319-335, 373-384. He travelled 

 to all quaiters of the glol e in order to procure appropriate sketches for 

 his pictures of scenery to illustrate the plates of the "Monograph of the 

 Swallows," to which book the present writer supplied the letter-press. 

 His book on "British Birds" (2 vols., 4to, 1894) was a labour of love to 

 him, and he took great delight in the production of the plates, all of which, 

 like those of the "Monograph of the Swallows," were drawn on stone by 

 himself.

Yerbury (Col, J. W.). 



103 birds and eggs from Aden. Presented. [84. 7. 19, 1-8 ; 85. 12. 

 23, 1-24; 95. 5. 13, 1-58; 95. 5. 15, 1-13.] 



Colonel Yerbury's donation of Aden birds was a very valuable one, as 

 the Museum had not a good series of birds from that locality. He has 

 written an important paper on the ornithology of the district ('Ibis,' 

 1886, pp. 11-24, pi. h\). 



Young (Capt. J. B.), B.N. 



20 eggs of the Sooty Tern (Sterna fuliginosa) from Ascenscion Island. 

 Presented. [1904. 6. 4, 1-20.].

 1-47 ; 1902. 11. 8, 1-44.] 



Mr. Zaphiro settled at Harar and interested himself in the study of 

 natural history. He was employed by Mr. W. N. MacMillan to collect 

 for him on the Baro and Sobat Rivers.

 Presented. [38. 1. 27, 2.] 



50 skulls and skeletons of birds. Purchased. [50. 11. 22, 75-95; 

 51. 11. 10, 40-68.] 



403 specimens, purchased at the dispersal of the Society's Museum. 

 [55. 12. 19, 1-403.] 



This collection contained a number of types from the voyage of the 

 Beagle and other early expeditions. A few of the type-specimens were 

 apparently missed by Mr. G. P. Gray, and found their way into other 

 collections, but the greater number of them passed into the British 

 Museum, as will be seen by the following list, compiled by Mr. Charles 

 Chubb. 



The following types were included: Palxornis modesta (Fraser), 

 Lorius superous* Fraser [= L. cyanauchen, S. Mull. Cf. Salvad., 

 Cat. B., xx., p. 36]; Triclioglossus mitchelli, Gray; Chrysotis augusta 

 (Yig.) ; Pyocephalus rilppelli (Gray) ; Rhodopechys sanguinea (Gould) ;
