Translation: :
Nicholas Roberts MA, from St. Davids and of Jesus College, was deeply interested in Natural History and a keen student of the natural history of his own country. In order to add to the riches of the Museum, he kindly donated several sea-birds found only in the northern regions. These included an arctic duck of Clusius, and a ******? and a Norwegian auk of Hoier and several other migratory birds, which makes one hope that there may be more.
Location: : Not listed in the 1836 catalogue. The present location of these objects is unknown.
