He died in the autumn of 1954 leaving the Museum his collection of 6,200 skins of 550 species; it includes three types and many forms new to the collection, and is invaluable as a link between the extensive material from Burma, Indo-China and Malaya already in the Museum. Sir Walter published some notes on his early collections in the Journal of the Natural History Society of Siam (vols. 1-3, 1914-1919), a journal of which he was co-editor; others of his skins were studied and recorded by Robinson and Kloss in ' 'The Birds of South-west and Peninsular Siam {Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam 5, 1921-24) and in other papers by these workers. More recently Sir Walter published further notes (Ibis 1945 and 1947) but a large part of the collection remained unrecorded. Although all the skins have now been studied it is not proposed to publish a paper on the whole collection. Notes on all specimens have, however, been sent to Mr. H. G. Deignan of the United States National Museum, Washington, so that any new records for Thailand, or extensions of ranges of races based on Sir Walter's specimens, may be included in the check list of Thai birds which he is preparing. ^?H^.
