48 MR. SOUTHWELL ON ADDITIONS TO THE NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM. 
presented by the Zoological Society, which is very acceptable, as 
the singular family of the Tinamid® is poorly represented in our 
collection. 
Mr. Gurney has already referred to the valuable eggs of Birds of 
Prey, for which the Museum is indebted to his liberality. To 
these there is only one important addition, it is a British Egg of 
the Kite, taken at Alconbury, Huntingdonshire, a former breeding, 
place of this species. 
In the department of Botany there has been added a collection 
of Dried Plants from Australia, America, and Europe, mounted and 
named, with a MS. catalogue by the donor, Miss A. M. Barnard, 
who long had charge of the collections in the old Museum as their 
Hon. Botanical Curator. All botanists should visit the Picture 
Gallery to study the beautiful “ Study of a Burdock,” by John Crome, 
a picture replete with interest not only from an artist’s point of 
view for its perfect harmony of colouring, the beauty of the 
drawing of the foliage, and its simple yet effective grouping, 
showing how much a true lover of nature and an accomplished 
artist could make of even so simple a subject, but also from the 
absolute faithfulness of delineation so often obscured in producing 
forced, so-called artistic, effects.
