Montagu Browne, F.Z.S., was for a number of years 
Curator of the Corporation Museum and Art Gallery at 
Leicester, and in addition to the undermentioned work 
wrote a useful book on Artistic and Scientific Taxidermy and 
Modelling (8vo, 1896 ). His Vertebrate Animals of Leicester- 
shire and Rutland arose out of the series of papers on the 
vertebrates of the first-named county published by him in 
the Zoologist during 1885 - 86 . Mr. Joseph Whitaker tells 
us that the Earl of Gainsborough gave him the information 
about the Rutland birds. He retired from Leicester Museum 
some years ago, and went to reside near Whitstable, but 
has since removed from there.

1 We have not much doubt that the series of seventeen articles in 1837-39 in 
Macgillivray’s Edinburgh Journal of Natural History, on British Birds (Vol. I., pp. 
90-1, 93-4, 98-9, 105-6, 109-10, 114, 117-18, 121-2, 125-6, 133-4, 145-6, 149-50, 157-8, 
165-6, 169-70, 173-4; II., p. 5) were contributed by this writer while residing in Edin- 
burgh. He was at that time translating and illustrating Cuvier’s Animal Kingdom, 
which appeared in the same journal.
