    Abstract Based on a detailed analysis of the external appearance of redpoll Acanthis skins, Knox (1993) explicitly accused the collector Richard Meinertzhagen of having stolen specimens from the Natural History Museum bird skin collection and re-labelling them. Here, I test Knox's results using independent evidence of the internal appearance of the specimens in question derived from radiography. Radiographic evidence strongly supported Knox's overall conclusion of fraud by Meinertzhagen but revealed limitations inherent in his attempt to determine the collection history of bird skins using external appearance alone. Although results in such investigations are inherently likely to be probabilistic rather than certain, a multi-factorial approach, taking a wide array of evidence into account, is most likely to engender confidence in the outcome.

    Abstract The claims of an array of specimens to be considered part of the type series of Pitta gurneyi are clarified. The plate of P. gurneyi that is commonly linked to the type description in Stray Feathers was based on two specimens Hume gave to Gurney and was published considerably after the type description itself.

    Abstract Robert P. Jones, president of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), discusses religious pluralism and COVID-19 with Eboo Patel, president and founder of the Inter-Faith Youth Core (IFYC) in a podcast on the IFYC’s website. Topics discussed include if COVID-19 will strengthen inter-faith relations or worsen past religious tensions. Additionally, the two leaders discuss the results of a PRRI survey, discussing the attitudes and opinions around whether or not places of worship should be restricted or exempt amid the social distancing polices.

    Abstract About 25% of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases after resection of the primary tumor, and surgical resection of the metastases offers the only opportunity for long-term survival. However, only 20% of patients present with resectable disease. Deciding which patients should be offered surgery, and which should receive additional treatment in the form of perioperative chemotherapy, is complex. For the majority of patients who present with technically irresectable liver-limited disease, systemic downsizing chemotherapy offers the only opportunity to reach surgery and potential cure. Molecular analysis of tumor tissue is improving patient stratification, allowing more appropriate treatment selection, but is not yet a regular part of clinical practice. Decision making is limited by a lack of clear prospective evidence, and so multidisciplinary team assessment is essential to optimize outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Recurrence post hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) occurs in 70 % of patients within two years. No established guidance on the method or intensity of follow-up currently exists. The aim of this systematic review was to summarise literature and determine whether it is possible to identify an optimal follow up regime. To this date there are no randomised prospective studies investigating this.
    Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Outcomes included general demographics, method, frequency and duration of follow up, survival and recurrence data. Quality assessment of the papers was performed.
    Results: Twenty-five articles published between 1994 and 2022 were included, including 9945 patients. CT was the most common imaging modality (n = 14) and CEA most common blood test (n = 11). Intensity of follow up was higher in the first two years post resection and only two papers continued follow up post 5 years resection. There was wide variation in outcome measures - Overall survival (OS) was most commonly reported. Nine papers reported OS ranging between 39 and 78.1 %.
    Conclusions: There is wide variation in follow up methods and outcome reporting. There is no strong evidence to support intensive follow up, and the benefits of long term follow up are also unknown due to the lack of patient centred data. High quality, prospective studies should be the focus of future research as further retrospective data is unlikely to resolve uncertainties around optimal follow up.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among both men and women. Personalised treatment options remain complex, although there is broad agreement over which patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) should and should not be offered resection. Decisions on an optimal management strategy involves careful assessment of both technical and oncological factors. In this review we aim to summarise current prognostic biomarkers for metastatic colorectal cancers, specifically patients considered for resection. A number of clinico-pathological factors have been identified as prognostically important with good internal validity, but limited external validity. Furthermore, these prognostic scoring systems do not take factor in modern chemotherapeutic agents and the disease modification these agents produce. Histopathological response to chemotherapy is of significant prognostic importance. Molecular markers can help predict the efficacy of a biological agent. An important prognostic factor of liver metastasis is the recognition that location of the primary colorectal cancer impacts on metastatic phenotype and represents difference in genotype, i.e. proximal tumours are more aggressive than distal tumours with an increased likelihood of disease progression. Several mutational molecular markers identified include microsatellite instability, BRAF, and KRAS/NRAS and combination mutations, which confer poorer outcomes. Accurate prognostication in patients with liver limited colorectal metastases remains crucial, as this allows tailoring treatment options to each disease and improving outcomes. Access to tissue before treatment remains a limitation although advances in ability to assess tumour biology by non-invasive methods are promising.

    Abstract A letter by Allan Octavian Hume and three by Bertram Bevan-Petman, all written between 1904 and 1911 to Ernst Hartert, bird curator of Rothschild's Tring Museum, are present in the Rothschild Tring archive, now held by the Natural History Museum. These shed light on both the probable cause of the early death in 1872 of Colonel Robert C. Tytler, British army officer and naturalist in colonial India, and on the somewhat convoluted fate of his collection subsequently.

    Abstract The discovery of an overlooked skeleton of Imperial Woodpecker Campephilus imperialis in the bird collection of the Natural History Museum at Tring (NHMUK) is documented, one of very few known to exist worldwide of this almost certainly extinct species. We present evidence that, on balance of probabilities, it is one of two collected by Alphonse Forrer in 1882 near the settlement of La Ciudad in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Durango, western Mexico; the whereabouts of the other, which did not come to NHMUK, appears currently unknown. During research into the NHMUK specimen, we demonstrated that the supposed Imperial Woodpecker skull held in the collection of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, must in fact be that of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker C. principalis.
