Lumsden (James), 1851-1912 
James Lumsden, of Arden, Dumbartonshire, a Member 
of the B.O.U. since 1877 and Fellow of the Zoological Society 
of London, wrote little on birds beyond two or three papers 
in Scottish natural history journals, yet claims a place here 
on account of his share in the Loch Lomond Guide. He 
died in 1912.

Lydekker (Richard), 1849-1915 
This great zoologist is better known by his many fine 
books on mammals, such as The Beer of All Lands (1898), 
Wild Oxen, Sheejp and Goats of all Lands (1898), The Great 
and Small Game of India (1900), etc., than by his ornitho- 
logical work, which is very limited by comparison. In 
addition to the undermentioned work, however, he contri- 
buted some assistance to Newton’s Dictionary of Birds 
(1893-96), edited the Royal Natural History (6 vols., 1893-96), 
and compiled the Catalogue of Fossil Birds in the British 
Museum (1891), as also that of Fossil Mammals, Birds, 
Reptiles and Amphibians in the Science and Art Museum, 
Dublin (1891). He has also written numerous other works 
on Mammalogy and Palaeontology, and was on the staff of * 
the Geological Survey of India (1874-82). He was a B.A. 
Cantab., F.R.S., F.G.S., F.Z.S., and J.P. for Herts. He 
resided at The Lodge, Harpenden, Herts, and died in 1915.
