432 MR. P. LENEY ON ADDITIONS TO NORWICH CASTLE MUSEUM. 
of Papplewick Hall, Notts. At his death the collection 
passed into the possession of his son, by whom it was 
removed to Drayton House, Norwich. The Museum Collec- 
tion is fortunate in possessing an adult bird and a “ chick,” 
which is said to be the first young Emperor Penguin ever 
seen by man. (Transactions, Vol. VIII., p. 108.) 
Sir Eustace Gurney added to the collection of local Mam- 
malia two specimens of pale-coloured variety of Mole ( Talpa 
europoea) taken at Hellesdon, Norwich; and Mr. Edwin Hollis, 
skins and skulls of Pigmy Shrew ( Sorex minutus), female, 
Water Shrew (Neomys fodiens), female, and variety of Shrew- 
mouse ( Sorex araneus), male, taken at Castle Rising, Norfolk, 
1910. 
Mr. J. H. Gurney has kindly supplied the following notes 
on the specimens added to the collection of Raptorial Birds 
during the year ending December 31st, 1911: — “The 
following are the only important additions to the Raptorial 
collection during 1911, nothing noteworthy having been 
added to the Diurnal Birds-of-Prey. Mr. W. Brewster, a well- 
known American naturalist, has presented an example of 
Glaueidium gnoma hoslnnsii, one of the smallest Owls known 
to science, of which the Museum already possessed one 
specimen. Its label states it to have been obtained at Sierra 
de la Laguna, Lower California, on June 1st, 1887, and that 
it was a male. For another small Owl, Speotyto ( Pholeoptynx ) 
cunicularia cavicola of Bangs, we are indebted to the courtesy 
of Mr. J. L. Bonhote, who obtained it at Nassau in the 
Bahama Islands on March 7th, 1892. This geographical 
race, in the opinion of some, is not specifically separable 
from S. floridana, Ridgw., of which the Museum had two 
examples from Mr. Southwick some years ago.” 
Dr. Charles Hose presented a skin of the rare Bornean 
Broadbill ( Galyptomena wliitekeadi), female, from Mount 
Dulit, Borneo, October, 1892; Colonel Irby, a pied Wren 
(Troglodytes parvuliis), from Boyland, Norfolk; Mr. T. Barrett-
