A uthor. The translation was commenced last year immediately after the permission had been graciously given; but what was begun as a pleasant task, had to be completed in sorrow. Thus the volume in its present form has to go forth not merely as a vehicle of delightful instruction, but as a regretful tribute to the memory of a man who by his genuine devotion to Nature and by his readiness to impart his experiences to others, had succeeded in establishing a sympathetic bond with the more humble workers in the field of Ornithology. ALBERT GUNTHER. British Museum, Nat. Hist, August 4, 1889.
