The Museum of Natural History, as a distinct collection,
may be said to have been formed in 1829, when the objects
peculiarly belonging to it were separated from the Ana-
tomical Collections.

Twenty-three years ago the present Director-General of
the Army Medical Department, on coming to office, called
the attention of Medical Officers in all quarters of the
globe where British Troops are stationed to Natural His-
tory, and pointed out the advantages of collecting the pro-
ductions of each country. Such collections accordingly
were gradually made ; parts of them were sent to Chatham,
and thus the foundation of the Museum was laid.

As at present constituted the Museum of Natural His-
tory consists of four great Divisions, including specimens,
1st. of Zoology; 2nd. of Mineralogy and Geology; 3rd.
of Botany; and 4th. of Comparative Anatomy. The
following is a numerical Return of the objects belonging to
each : —

1st. Zoology 9386 Specimens.

2nd. Mineralogy and Geology 5749 do.

3rd. Botany 7966 do.

4th. Comparative Anatomy - 754 do.

The Committee of Medical Officers under whose super-
intendancc this Museum as well as that of Patholo-
gical and Natural Anatomy have been placed by the
Director-General, in adverting to its progress, have great
pleasure in referring to the labours of those Gentlemen
doing duty at Fort Pitt, who have afforded their assistance
in arranging systematically some of the more important
branches of it; particularly the late Mr. Robert Jameson,
prematurely lost to the service and to science, his brother
Mr. Laurence Jameson, and above all Mr. Burton.

Mr. Robert Jameson, whilst he had charge of the Natural
History collections in the year 1833, commenced a Cata-
logue of the first three classes of the Vertcbrata and of the
Minerals. Mr. Laurence Jameson, during the last year,
has made considerable progress in the classification of the
Shells, Fossils and Geological specimens. Rut to Mr.
Burton the greatest oljligations are owing. Since the com-
mencement of the Museum it has been almost constantly
under his immediate care : by him, the majority of the
species of Mammalia, Birds, Reptiles and Fishes have
been determined, and the arrangements connected with tlieir
classification and cataloguing effected.

The present Catalogue, including the Mammalia and
Birds, is mainly the result of his labours. It is printed for
circulation for the double purpose of making known to the
Department and to Naturalists our possessions and our
wants ; with the twofold hope of increasing the usefulness
of the Museum and of promoting its augmentation.

The species of which there are duplicates are marked
by an Asterisk. These may be considered as offered for
exchange, either with other Museums or with private
collectors disposed to give in return specimens of equal
value.

All the collections in the Natural History Museum have

been formed by donations : not a single specimen has been
purchased. Mr. Burton has annexed to his preface of this
Catalogue a list of the Donors, enumerated in the order as
nearly as possible of the number and value of their respcq-
tive contributions. In the Museum the name of the Donor
is attached to every specimen, as >v ell as the locality when
known. As in many instances several examples of the same
species have been presented by difl'erent Gentlemen, the
repetition of this in the Catalogue has been considered
impracticable.

It is contemplated with hope by the Committee,* that this
Catalogue will prove the forerunner of others, till the series
be complete ; to appear in succession as soon as the requi-
site arrangements of classification have been made, and the
funds disposable for the purpose will bear the expense
required. Hitherto, it may be remarked, the funds applied
to the printing of Catalogues, like the collections them-
selves, have been contributed entirely by individuals,
chiefly Medical Ofiicers, interested in the welfare of the
Establishment, and placed at the disposal of the Director-
General for its benefit.

Through the liberality of the Government an additional
building has been allowed for the use of the Museum. It
is desirable that this should be known to the Officers of the
Department generally, coupled with the assurance, that
there being now space and accommodation for arrangement,
every new object presented will not only be thankfully
received, but will also, with as little delay as possible, be
entered in the Museum in its appropriate place.

PREFACE.

In the construction of this Catalogue the ordinary arrange-
ment of the Mammalia has been adhered to. That of the
Birds is founded on the system now generally in use
in this country. The determination of the genera and
species, always a work of labour, has been the more diffi-
cult on the present occasion, because the authorities lie
scattered through a multitude of works, many of them in
foreign languages, quite inaccessible except in a metropolis,
and too costly for purchase by an individual. And these
difficulties are yet further enhanced, when it is considered
that the science of Natural History is at present in a state
of transition from the form in which it was left by the
Linnean writers to another not yet fully developed. New
genera and species are every day proposed, some probably
on imperfect data, which may hereafter fail under a more
accurate and extended observation of age, sex, manners
and habits. In naming species the older denominations
have generally been adopted, as matter of justice to the
original describers ; and as the form of the Catalogue
admits of it, the authority for the original specific name in
addition to that for the new genus is usually given, the
old genus being added as a synonym. Some of the

PRKFACR.

vii

more common synonyms, as well as the native or colonial
names, have also been occasionally introduced, where they
seemed necessary to identify the species, or likely to be
useful to those members of our department serving abroad,
who can have access to comparatively few works of science.
The Habitat quoted is that of the original specimens only,
the introduction of the localities from whence all the
duplicates were derived having been found inconvenient.

This task has been undertaken at such broken and uncer-
tain periods as his professional duties left at the disposal of
its author. Errors, doubtless, occur in it; and these arc
more numerous than they might have been, had not a final
revision of the specimens been necessarily disturbed by the
derangement of the Collection incident to its removal to the
new building now appropriated for its use. It is not, how-
ever, to be expected that an individual, even under the most
favorable circumstances, should be able to compose so
accurate an account of a great variety of objects collected
from all parts of the world as the writer of a monograph.
But it is hoped that, whatever may be its defects, this pub-
lication will be beneficial, by assisting in the exposition of
the riches of our Museum to the Department and the
scientific world, as well as by aiding the younger students
among us in the pursuit of these interesting sciences.

t Hirundo javanica, Vig- Sf Horsf. (Trans, of Linn. Soc. Vol. 15), is not
that of Latham, from which it differs in several essential points.

X There is a sameness in the colouring of the smaller species of the
genus Caprimulgus, which bids defiance to precise description. Let any
one compare that of C. europajus, indicus, asiaticus, affinis and their varie-
ties in Latham and other authors, and he will despair of reaching that degree
of accuracy which is essentially necessary to the due definition of species.
This confusion is further heightened by varieties of age and sex.

§ In naming this bird as new, I have confided in the experience of
Mr. Uould, who is of opinion that it was an undescribed species: I have,
however, myself an indistinct apprehension that it may be Alcedo pnrpurata,
Gmel.; but no opportunity has occurred to me of verifying this supposition
by comparison.

t The trivial name " nigriroliis" is not to be found in the lin\. Orn.
It is merely a loose translation of Latham's name " Black-breasted Finch,"
(Gen. Hist, of Birds, vol- G. p. 50. 4.) Tills bird has no doubt been since
named, althonj^h I have not been able to meet with its latin appellation. Tt
resembles very closely the House Sparrow with colours somewhat faded ;
but Latham is of opinion that it is certainly a distinct species.

{ This is the Fringilla flavicoliis, Frankl. (Proceedings of the Zool. Soc.
1830, p. 120,) whose name I have taken the liberty of slightly altering, there
being an american Finch previously thus named, Fringilla flavicoliis, Lath.
(Ind. Orn. 1 p 4G5. 107.) This bird is also described by Latham (Gen. Hist,
of Birds, 6. 55.) as a variety of the Foolish F'inch, Fringilla stulta, Lin. Col.
Sykes thinks it entitled to be classed as a Ploceus.

§ I have adopted Brissot's epithet for this species, that of Linneus being
now unavailable, as it has been transferred to the modern genus,

t Much obscnrify still exists regarding the white Herons. Neither
Franklin nor Sykes, in their Catalogues of Indian Birds (Proceedings of
Zoological Society, Parts I. and II,) accurately refer to this as described by
Latham, (Gen. Hist, of IVirds, Vol. IX. p. 1)0,) with ns the most common of
the indian species. It appears to be intermediate between the Great
white Egret, (Ardea Egretta, Gmel.) and tlie Little Egret (Ardea Garzetta,
Ejusd.) The bill varies in colour, tiie under mandil)le in some specimens
being white with a black tip, in otliers nearly all black — probably a ditfer-
ence of age. It is supposed by Temmink to be the young of the Great
wliite Egret, but the difference of size makes this improbable, Latham's
view, which I have adopted, appears the more reasonable.
