This is a very useful little essay with little novelty, but handy for reference and 
the weak points were soon picked out by Sharpe himself.

History of the Collections contained in the Natural History Departments of the 
British Museum, Vol. II., Birds, pp. 79-516, 1906. 
This is a very valuable book to Australian ornithologists as a Record of the Specimens 
described by Latham in the British Museum is given, followed by an Account of the 
Watling Drawings, and another of the Parkinson, Forster and Ellis drawings. 
Further, a full account of the donations is included with biographical notes of the 
donors, often of unique value, while a special account of the Bullock Sale is included. 
It must he again noted that all note of this valuable book to ornithologists is missing 
from the Zoological Record for 1906, although Sharpe proposed some new bird names 
in it, and he was Recorder at the time.

good workers in his age, as the following little list will show.
