Abstract
MANY years after his friends—Dr. A. C. Stark, the brothers H. F. and W. Francis and F. C. Selous—had lost their lives by enemy action, W. L. Sclater also fell a victim to enemy action1. Sclater was director of the South African Museum from 1896 to 1906. He was appointed director when the new building (the present one) had just been completed, and his was the task of planning the arrangement of the exhibits. In the main his original plan persists, though with the logical alterations and extensions made possible by the addition of a new wing in recent years.
