Sysselmand Hans C. Muller died at Thorshavn, Faeroes, 

 on Christmas day, 1897, at the age of 79. He was born in 

 1818 at Thorshavn, where his father held the office of Syssel- 

 mand before him. At that period the opportunities for 

 education in the Fseroes were of the most elementary 

 nature, yet in spite of these drawbacks, Miiller, who was 

 possessed of ability and energy, obtained for himself an 

 education far beyond the generality of his fellov-islanders. 

 In 1839 he succeeded his father as Sysselmand, and in 185.2 

 he was elected a member of the local Parliament, an office 

 he held till 1893. He represented the Faeroes in the Danish 

 Rigsdag from 1858-90, and on his retirement the King 

 of Denmark created him Knight of the Danebrog. During 

 the whole of his long life Miiller devoted himself to the 

 natural history of his native islands, and especially to their 

 ornithology. His ' Faeroernes Fuglefauna,' published in 

 1862, is still the most trustworthy work on the bird-life of 

 the group. Col. Feilden, who has made several visits to the 

 Faeroes, has given most of the results of Miiller's observations, 

 in Enerlish.
