SOME ADDITIONS TO THE NORWICH CASTLE 
MUSEUM IN 1912. 
By Frank Leney {Curator of Museum). 
The Museum collection of heads representative of the “ Big- 
game ” of Africa has been greatly augmented during the year 
1912 by a large number of heads and horns from British East 
Africa and Abyssinia, on loan from Lord Wodehouse. This 
collection includes a magnificent head of a Buffalo {Bos caffer 
typica ), two heads of the new Mountain Nyala {Tragelaphus 
buxtoni), discovered by Mr. Ivor Buxton, a Bongo {Tragelaphus 
euryceros) and a very fine Sable Antelope {Hippotragus niger). 
The collection of Mammalia has been enriched by the gift of 
a female Proboscis Monkey {Nasalis larvatus ) from Borneo, 
presented by Dr. Charles Hose, a Crested Porcupine {Hystrix 
cristata ) from Nairobi, British East Africa, the gift of Mr. 
Gerard H. Gurney and the skull of a Dugong {Halicore dugong) 
killed at Aden, presented by Mr. G. C. Kennedy.
