SOME ADDITIONS TO 
THE NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM IN 1910. 
By Frank Leney, 
Curator of Museum. 
Read 28 th March, 1911. 
Included in the additions to the Natural History Collections 
during the year 1910 is Mr. James Reeve’s gift of a very fine 
example of an Egg of the Great Auk or Garefowl {Alca

able to add to the Collection during the year ended 
December 31st, 1910.

Africa, by Mr. G. L. Bates, and consigned by him to his 
agent in London, were four examples of Dryotriorchis batesi, 
a large Buzzard-Eagle of striking appearance, which was 
separated by the late Dr. R. B. Sharpe from D. spectabilis 
(Schlegel) in 1904 (see ‘ Ibis,’ 1904, p. 600), on apparently 
very good grounds. I am glad to say that we have acquired 
one of the four, but according to the opinions expressed in 
Dr. Sharpe’s article ( l.c .), it does not give a new species to 
the Norwich Museum. My late father’s specimen, which 
came from the Gaboon, and to which, though imperfect, he 
attached a high value, has long stood in the Museum as 
Dryotriorchis spectabilis, but no doubt it is in reality D. batesi, 
a very separable form, which is distinguished by its creamy- 
white and unspotted chest. Mr. Bates’ Dryotriorchis batesi
