698 Zoology. 



Salle (Auguste). [ -1896] 



A collection consisting of twelve species of Central American Myrio- 

 poda, named by De Saussure, was purchased from M. Salle in 1861. 

 The specimens were apparently sold as the types of the species. This is 

 certainly not true in all cases ; but there is no reason to doubt that when 

 the localities on the labels agree with the localities affixed to the 

 descriptions, the specimens may be claimed as the types or co-types. 



Sandwich Islands Committee. 



In 1904 the collection of 53 specimens obtained in the Sandwich 

 Islands by Mr. R. C. L. Perkins was presented by a Joint Committee of 

 the Royal Society and the British Association. The collection includes 

 all the types described in the " Fauna Hawaiiensis."

Spencer (Henry Alexander). [1862- 



From 1890-1897 Mr. H. A. Spencer presented to the Museum several 

 consignments of Myriopoda collected by himself in Cape Colony and 

 Natal. These were the first well-preserved specimens received from 

 South Africa. 



Stuxberg (Anton). 



In 1876 a collection of 14 species, 11 of which were represented by 

 typical or co-typical examples, from Siberia, was presented by Dr. 

 A. Stuxberg. The species were described by Dr. Stuxberg in the Ann. 

 Mag. Nat. Hist, for April, 1876. 



Taylor (William). 



From 1889-1892 Mr. W. Taylor presented instalments amounting in 

 all to about 100 specimens of Myriopoda collected by himself in Texas, 

 Nearly all the species contained in this collection were new to the 

 Museum series, it being the first collection ever received from that 

 country. 



Thomas (Oldfield). [1858- ] 



From 1889-1900 Mr. Oldfield Thomas presented to the Museum large 

 numbers of Myriopods collected by himself in various parts of England, 

 France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Balearic Islands, and La Plata. 

 The series obtained in Italy and Germany was the first collection of 

 Myriopods of any extent that the Museum had received from the 

 Continent.

Thurston (Edgar). 



In 1890-1891 the Museum received from Mr. Thurston, of the Govt. 

 Central Museum, Madras, specimens of about 20 species, of which nearly 

 half were undescribed and almost all new to the collection, from the 

 Madras Presidency. The species were described by Pocock in the Ann. 

 Mag. Nat. Hist, for 1890, and the Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc, for 

 1892.
