for twenty years in Ireland, Malta, Corfu, Bermuda, and 
Halifax, Nova Scotia. 
He used to be fond of relating how he believed himself 
to be the last man who had ever seen the Great Auk alive, 
when, on returning to Europe in December 1852, on the 
edge of the Newfoundland banks, he watched for some time 
a Great Auk which was within 30 or 40 yards of the steamer. 
He was the first President of the British Ornithologists 5 
Union, and one of the original twenty who in the year 1858 
founded it and started the Ibis. 
On his marriage with the heiress of Seggieden in 1859, 
he took her family name of Hay, and from that date till 
the time of his death he was known as Colonel Drummond- 
Hay, of Seggieden. For the last twenty years of his life 
he devoted himself to the natural history of Perthshire and 
T ay side, and especially to the formation of the Perth Museum. 
He died January 3, 1896.
