Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Collection of Birds: Formed by the Late Hugh Edwin Strickland, M.A. Fellow of the Royal, Linnean, Geological and Royal Geographical Societies, &C. &C., Deputy Reader of Geology in the University of Oxford The collection of Bird skins, here catalogued, was formed by the late Hugh Edwin Strickland, M.A., F.R.S., of Oriel College, Oxford, and Deputy Reader of Geology in that University, who at the age of forty-two years was killed by a railway train whilst in the pursuit of his scientific labours on the 14th of September, 1853. Begun by him when yet a boy, for the label of one of the specimens (No. 3051 a) bears date August, 1822, the formation of this collection continued to be a great object of interest with him throughout his life; but most of the specimens obtained by him prior to 1833 were mounted and placed in cases in the hall at Apperley Court, near Tewkesbury, his father's seat, where they still are. In the year last mentioned, however, his brother Algernon Strickland, a midshipman in the Royal Navy, visiting the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Southern India, obtained about 90 specimens now in the collection; and in the winter of 1835 - 36, Strickland himself made a voyage to Greece and Asia Minor, where he collected upwards of 100 others. In 1838 Strickland largely increased his collection by purchasing about 1200 specimens from his cousin Nathaniel Constantine Strickland. Another cousin, Arthur Strickland, purchased at the same time some 500 additional specimens, which also became the property of H. E. Strickland in 1850. The specimens thus acquired form no inconsiderable part of the whole collection. They had been originally obtained, as I am informed, partly from captains of merchantmen, and partly from dealers.
