DATA TO THE ORNITHOLOGICAL COLLECTION OF THE DÉRI MUSEUM

The two-part study explores the ornithological pieces of the natural sciences collection of the Déri Museum. In the first part, published now, the author describes the historical background of the ornithological collection in the Museum and the background of collecting. The development of the collection is in close connection with ornithological observations and research concerning mostly the avifauna of Hortobágy in the region around Debrecen, which were started at the turn of the century and became more intense from the 1920s. The Hortobágy Museum, which operated as a subinstitution of the Déri Museum for ten years, was brought to life in 1934 by increasing public and professional interest. The Hortobágy Museum, set up in the "Csárda" [inn] in Hortobágy, displayed a natural sciences collection, alongside archaeological and ethnographical exhibitions. In

the former, the greatest emphasis was placed on the presentation of the avifauna of the Hortobágy plain. During its ten-year existence, the ornithological collection of the Hortobágy Museum was significantly enlarged, as the common records with the Déri Museum reveal. More than two hundred bird specimens were displayed at the time when the devastation of World War II resulted in the closing of the institution. The ornithological collection was severely damaged, but many objects were spared and sent back to the Déri Museum. It was on these foundations that the reorganisation of the ornithological collection started after 1945, and it is still in progress, after five periods of enrichment. Tables in the study inform us about these periods and the former collection of the Hortobágy Museum. The planned, second part of the study will describe the current state and composition of the ornithological collection of the Déri Museum.
