SOME ADDITIONS TO 
THE NORWICH CASTLE MUSEUM IN 1911. 
By Frank Leney, 
Curator of Museum. 
Read 30th April , 1912.

ative of the fast-disappearing fauna of the continent of 
Africa has been enriched by many interesting gifts through 
the kind interest of Mr. Geoffrey F. Buxton, of Dunston Hall. 
Included in the donations are two mounted skulls and horns 
of the new Mountain Nyala ( Tragelaphus buxtoni) discovered 
by his son, Mr. Ivor Buxton. The accompanying process 
block illustrates Mr. Ivor Buxton’s important donation. 
By the generous gift of Mr. J. H. Walter, of Drayton 
House, Norwich, the Museum Collection of Birds’ Eggs has 
been enriched by the addition of an egg which for upwards 
of fifty years was the only one known of the Emperor Penguin 
{Aptenodytes forsteri). It was brought to Paris from the 
Antarctic in 1838, by the French South Polar Expedition, 
under Dumont D’Urville, and in 1840 it was bought in Paris 
by Dr. (afterwards Sir) Henry Alfred Pitman, who sold his 
entire collection five years later to the late Mr. H. F. Walter,
