366 MR. F. LENEY ON ADDITIONS TO THE NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM. 
the Hon. Charles Baring and Mr. Ogilvie Grant of the British 
Museum, during a visit to the Salvage Islands (see W. R Ogilvie 
Grant on Birds observed at the Salvage Islands, ‘Ibis,’ 1896, pp. 
50, 51, and 54). An interesting account of these Islands will also 
be found in the ‘Field’ for September 25th, 1895. Mr. Baring 
also gave examples of two species of Tinamou ( Calopegus elegans 
and Nothura darwini ), neither of which were hitherto represented 
in the Museum. These “ South American Partridges,” as they are 
called, were shot on the plains above Cordova, and although for- 
merly abundant, they are fast disappearing before the all-destroying 
Italian immigrants. Several other rare birds from Hew York and 
the Arctic regions were also included in this donation. 
An interesting addition to the Oological collection is a series of 
fifty-two varieties of the egg of the Guillemot ( Uria troile ) from 
Scarborough, presented by Mr. J. H. Walter, and several nests and 
eggs from Borneo, presented by Mr. James Reeve. 
The principal additions to other departments of Natural History 
are, a large “Bath Sponge” ( Euspongia zimocca) from Punta Gorda, 
South Coast of Florida, presented by Mr. W. J. 0. Holmes ; and 
two large univalve Shells, Triton variegatum from the Red Sea 
and Fusus proboscidiferns from Singapore, presented by Mr. 
Howard H. Room. 
Many other valuable gifts were received during the past year, 
but although interesting, they do not fall within the scope of this 
brief notice. 
Note. — This paper is a continuation of the series which Mr. Thomas 
Southwell has contributed to the Transactions of this Society during the 
\ r ears 1888 to 1900.
