SOME ADDITIONS TO 
THE NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM IN 1906. 
By Frank Leney. 
Read 26 th March, 1907. 
Although many other donations to the Museum in 1906 
are doubtless of interest to the members of this Society, the 
following may perhaps be deemed mpre than ordinarily so, 
viz., a well-mounted example of Mrs. Gray’s Waterbuck 
(Cobus maria) from the White Nile ; shot by the donor (Mr. 
Edward North Buxton of Buckhurst Hill, Essex), for the 
Norwich Museum by special permission of the Egyptian 
Government. This rare Waterbuck is one of the most hand- 
some and striking of all the African water-loving Antelopes. 
Mr. Buxton also presented mounted heads of Grant’s Gazelle 
(Gazella granti ) from the Rhombo River, British East Africa ; 
White-eared Cob ( Cobus leucotis) from the White Nile ; Impala 
Antelope ( iRpyceros melampus) from the Rhombo River ; 
Soemmerring’s Gazelle ( Gazella sccmmerringi ) from Somali- 
land ; also horns of Arabian Ibex ( Capra nubiana) ; and 
Siberian Argali ( Ovis ammon) from Mongolia. With the 
exception of the last named they were all killed by the donor, 
and those members who were present at the lecture, given by 
him to this Society, will recall many of the Antelopes which 
he so graphically described with the aid of some remarkable 
photographs of the animals in their natural habitat. 
Mr. A. Heneage Cocks, of Skirmet, near Henley-on-Thames, 
has again favoured the Museum by adding to the Mammalian 
collection a fine adult ? Wild Cat captured in Inverness-shire 
and a kitten bred in his menagerie. Mr. Frederick Ringer of 
Nagasaki presented a skull of a large “ Killer- Whale ” 
(Orca, sp.) caught off the coast of Korea by the crew of the 
Whaling steamer “ Volga ” in 1905.
