AMONG the most important additions to the Natural History 
Departments of the Norwich Castle Museum during the year 
1913 is a remarkably fine specimen of the Indian Tiger from 
Nepal, graciously presented by H.M. the King. 
The collection of heads and horns of African animals has 
been largely increased by the addition of mounted heads and 
horns from Bahr el Ghazel and Mongalla, presented by Captain 
R. Stracey. Miss Cara Buxton made further additions to her 
collection by the gift of skulls of Lichenstein’s Hartebeest and 
Neumann’s Hartebeest from German East Africa, and another 
notable gift was that of two fine mounted heads of Grevy’s 
Zebra, shot at Lake Rudolf, April 5th, 1900, from Mr. A. E. 
Butter, C.M.G. His Excellency the Governor of Uganda 
(Mr. F. J. Jackson, C.B., C.M.G.) has also lent twenty-four

collection of Indian “ Big-Game,” including heads of the 
Indian Bison, Indian Sambar, Swamp Deer, Indian Spotted
