Diurnal Lepiiloptera cUiriii^' tlio expedition Avas 103 species, 

 not a very large one, but this was doubtless due to the some- 

 what bad Mcaiher they experienced. Forbes Avrote a short 

 account of the results of this trip in the 'Entomological 

 Monthly Magazine ' for 1880. It was in crossing the Monte 

 More pass that Salvin first discovered that he had something 

 ■wrong with his heart; he lagged behind at the steepest part, 

 while the rest rather raced u^p the slope, but it was not till 

 long after that the true cause was known, which ultimately 

 proved fatal to him. He died suddenly on June 1st, 1898, 

 and his death, as may well be imagined, came as a terrible 

 blow to his friend, who was thus left alone to continue their 

 great work. 



For some years Godman had devoted most of his time to 

 Entomology, leaving the Ornithology chiefly to Salvin; 

 but with the Aves of the 'Biologia" still unfinished, he 

 determined to complete this first, and having secured the 

 assistance of Dr. 11. B. Sharpe he proceeded with 

 volume iii., which had only just been commenced; this being- 

 concluded, he returned to the Rhopalocera, of which the 

 difficult family of the Pamphilinte was as yet untouched. 



A succession of severe attacks of influenza, followed by 

 six months of phlebitis, rendered Godman for some time 

 unfit for much exertion, so, taking the advice of his Doctor, 

 he spent a good deal of time abroad, and in company with 

 his Vi'ife twice visited Egypt, on one occasion going as far as 

 Luxor, and on another to Goz-abu-Guma on the White 

 Nile, where he was much impressed by the enormous 

 flocks of (*ranes, Ducks, and other wild fowl that frequent 

 that part of the river. Thc}^ also Avcnt to South Africa, and 

 thence north as far as the Zambezi falls, visiting the Gold- 

 fields at Johannesburg, the Diamond-mines at Kimberley, 

 and the principal battlefields in Natal and in the Orange 

 River Colony, and including a trek from Kimberle}^^ to 

 Bloemfontein in company Avith iVIajor-General Broadwood. 



In 1907 Godman again sought Dr. 11, B. Sliarpc's assis- 

 tance in order to undertake a work Avhich Salvin had 

 contemplated with regard to the Procellariidte, a family'^for
