THOMAS EDWARD BUCKLEY IN MEMORIAM 3 



two fish, all killed with fly on a 12 -foot trout-rod, and 

 unaided by an attendant. A very full account of this 

 " grand bit of sport " he wrote, at Mr. Grimble's request, for 

 that gentleman's handsome volume on the " Salmon Rivers 

 of Scotland." 



Perhaps the greatest personal sorrow Buckley ever had 

 during his life was the loss of his friend, the late Guy 

 Dawnay, who accompanied Buckley on his last African 

 expedition in 1888-89, as above referred to, and who met 

 with his death from the treacherous charge of a wounded 

 buffalo. 



The last two shooting seasons of his life were spent at 

 Castlehill, Castleton, near Thurso, whence finally he was 

 removed to his own home at Rossal, Inverness. 



The writer first met Buckley in 1871, in the house of 

 Mr. H. J. Elwes, Portman Square, London, and since then 

 has been intimately associated with him in work connected 

 with a survey of the vertebrate fauna of Scotland. On these 

 many pleasant associations and friendship I do not enlarge, 

 except to say that during the long period in which we 

 worked together there has been not only complete entente 

 cordiale, but also, better still, the most unflagging friendship. 

 In conclusion, I desire to add that I am indebted and 

 grateful to Miss Buckley, assisted by Mr. Akroyd, for some 

 of the more exact dates of the salient periods in his life's 

 work. 



The following I believe to be a fairly complete list of his 

 published contributions to science, but I would be glad to 

 be informed if I have omitted any : 



1870. 'A List of the Birds of Turkey,' by H. J. Elwes and T. .. 

 Buckley ("Ibis," 1870, three parts). 



1872. 'Two Months' Collecting on the Gold Coast,' by Captain G. 



E. Shelley and T. E. B. ("Ibis," July 1872). 



1873. 'List of Birds collected or observed during a Journey into 



the Matabele Country in 1873 ' ("Ibis," p. 355). 



1876. ' On the Past and Present Distribution of the Large Mammals 



of South Africa' ("P.Z.S." 7th March 1876, op. at.}. 



1877. The same continued, p. 277. These contain the united 



experiences of his two South African expeditions. 

 1881. 'On the Birds of East Sutherland' (1869 to 1880, " Proc. 

 Glasgow Nat. Hist. Soc." April 1881).
