MR. SOUTHWELL ON ADDITIONS TO THE NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM. 199 
one of these, now in the possession of Mr. Gurney, at Keswick, 
was killed at Pakefield, in the spring of 1852, and the other on 
the Northumberland coast. 
Mr. Gurney has favoured me with the following notes of the 
additions to the Birds of Prey, to the enriching and extension of 
which he gives his unremitting attention. 
“ During 1895, one Hawk— new to the collection — has been added 
to the yearly increasing series of .Raptorial Birds. This bird, 
Arcipiter rufotibialits, Sharpe, was collected by Mr. A. Everett 
(a constant frequenter of the Old Museum when he used to live in 
Norwich) in Borneo, and is certainly not so adult as the bird 
of the same species figured in ‘The Ibis,’ 1889, p. 68. There are 
several broken bars of white on the under parts, and the thighs are 
not such a bright red as in the plate. My father seems to have 
had a share in discriminating A. rufofi trial it, and his remarks, as 
they are unpublished, are worth giving. Alluding to the one 
figured, he says : — 
“ ‘ On comparing this specimen [of A. mfotibialis ] with the two 
oldest males of A. virgatus in the Norwich Museum (one from Java, 
and one from Ceylon), I find that it differs in the chin and throat 
being buffy white instead of pure white, and in the central dark 
longitudinal streaks on that part being narrower and not continued 
on to the upper breast. Also by there being no white on the central 
portion of the upper breast, and by the white transverse bars on 
the middle and lower breast being much hidden by the rufous 
portions of the plumage. Also in the tibial feathers being a uniform 
rufous, without either white or brown transverse bars ; also in the 
underside of most of the remiges being tinged slightly with rufous’ ” 
(J. If. G., ms.). 
“Another example of the handsome and conspicuous Madagascar 
Bay Owl, Heliodilus soumagnei, Gr., has come to hand from our 
good friend Mr. James Wills, and the valuable donation from 
Sir Francis Boileau I need not dilate upon, as Sceluglawc albifacies 
is to have an article to itself. 
“ A large box of skins collected in Borneo by Mr. A. Everett, 
and Mr. C. Hose, consigned to the Museum by their agent in London, 
yielded another specimen of Hetercscopx luciiv (Sharpe), of which 
we had only one before ; also a good Polioaeiutt plumbeus (Hodg.), 
Limnaitus albuniger , and a few other rather noteworthy birds, but
