The Museum collection of Mammalia has been enriched by 
the addition of specimens of the East African Lion ( Felts leo), 
Maneless Lion, and Lioness, shot by Captain Geoffrey C. Buxton 
in the Kedong Valley (B. E. A.) on December 20th, 1908. The 
accompanying photograph illustrates the remarkably effective 
manner in which the animals have been modelled by Messrs. 
Rowland Ward of London and set up in a mahogany case 
with plate glass sides and top, measuring 13 feet 6 inches in 
length, 6 feet in breadth, and 7 feet in height. This generous 
donation has been much appreciated by many thousands of 
citizens, and visitors from the adjacent seaside resorts. 
Mr. B. H. Burton, through Mr. W. H. Edgar, has added 
male and female specimens of the Indian Fox ( Canis 
bengalensis ) from the United Provinces, India ; and Mr. Gerard 
H. Gurney presented a mounted specimen of Beton’s Spring 
Hare ( Pedetes surdaster) which he obtained in British East 
Africa. 
The following notes on three rare species of Raptorial Birds 
have been kindly supplied by Mr. J. H. Gurney. 
We are fortunate in being able to announce the acquisition 
of an example of Pithecophaga jefferyi, Grant, the large 
Monkey-eating Eagle of the Philippine Islands (see 
illustration). The bird, which was discovered in Samar in 
1896, is remarkable for the great size of its beak. This
