In Italy, needless to say, apart from his family Giglioli has 

 left many who will mourn him deeply, and find it difficult, not 

 to say impossible, to fill the void which his death has created 

 in their lives. By them, and particularly by his pupils, so 

 devoted to their " caro Professore/' the period of friendship 

 and connexion with him, long or short as it may have 

 been, will be treasured as a bright landmark in their lives, 

 and one on which they can always look back with pleasure. 



To his sadly stricken family, while offering my deepest 

 sympathy in their bitter affliction, I can only express the 

 hope that Time, the great healer, will gradually assuage 

 their grief, and eventually restore to their midst the peace 

 of mind so suddenly snatched from them. When this may 

 happily have come about, and their thoughts are able to 

 revert calmly to the past, it will be with a sense of well- 

 justified pride and satisfaction that they will review the 

 great results of the life which was so nobly spent in the 

 cause of Science, and realize that truly such a life has not 

 been lost.

 by the author and Mr. H. A. Lorenz during the Dutch New 

 Guinea Expedition of 1903, under the leadership of Prof. 

 Arthur Wichmann. The greater part of it was formed at 

 Humboldt Bay on the north coast, where the expedition 

 remained four months, but some of the birds were obtained 

 at various localities in the Bay of Geelvink and other 

 places.
