always been his favourite subject and which he intended 

 to monograph, to that end preparing innumerable 

 coloured figures from specimens secured by himself or 

 which he was able to borrow. He was particularly in- 

 terested in plumage variations due to age or sex of this 

 group, and had a knowledge of his subject w^hich only 

 the keenest specialist is able to acquire. He was also a 

 member of the British Ornithological Union, and as such 

 contributed several important papers on South African 

 birds, notably, quite recently, upon the birds of prey and 

 field observations thereon. It is sincerely to be hoped 

 that the great labour he expended on his favourite sub- 

 ject will not be lost and that it will be possible to have 

 published the completed coloured figures and his notes 

 upon the species. In the death of Mr. Finch-Davies, S. 

 Africa loses one of its keenest ornithologists, one who 

 combined the rare qualities of a field naturalist, bird 

 artist and student.
