A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 
[bullock 
personal interest in adding ornithological specimens to the 
collection. In 1807, for instance, he visited the Bass Bock 
and procured several Gannets in different plumages, while in 
1812 he journeyed to the Orkneys, where he obtained “ young 
eagles and scarce English birds,” and on a second expedition 
to these islands in the autumn of that same year he made 
his famous chase in a six-oared boat after the sole surviving 
specimen of the Great Auk in those regions at Papa Westray. 
It was killed the following year and came into his possession. 
Particulars of this and other species were furnished by him 
to Montagu, who records and acknowledges them in the 
Appendix to his Orn. Diet. Supply Exeter, 1813. After the 
sale of his collection, a priced catalogue of which is in the 
Newton Library at Cambridge, he travelled in Mexico, and 
on his return opened an exhibition at the Egyptian Hall 
called “ Modern Mexico,” a catalogue of which he published 
in 1 824, as well as an account in book form of his six months 
residence and travels in that country in 1823. 
He was a Fellow of the Linnean Society, being elected in 
1810, but he only appears to have published one short paper 
in their transactions. He was still living in London in 1840 
(cf. N.&.Q. , ser. v. vol. hi. p. 302), and may possibly have 
later emigrated to the United States. An interesting 
account of Bullock may be found in Men I have known 
(1866), by William Jerdan, pp. 67-82.
