of seals and birds, but his notes were lost. His diary was published 

 by me in the " Keport on the collections of Natural History made in the 

 Antarctic Eegions during the voyage of the Southern Cross," Aves, 

 jip. 106-173, pis. vii.-x., published by the Trustees in 1902. He was one 

 of the most conscientious and energetic collectors I have ever known.

Mr. Vernon Harcourt published a list of the birds of Madeira 

 (P.Z.S. for 1851, pp. 141-146). In 1854 he described as new Regulns 

 maderensis (P.Z.S., 1854, p. 153), and in a further list published in 1855 

 in the " Annals and Magazine of Natural History," (2), xv., pp. 430-438, 

 he described a new Petrel from the Desertas Islands, FroceUaria castro. 

 Neither of the types came to the Museum.

From his earliest years Edward Hargitt was a devoted student of 

 ornithology, and collected in the Orkneys and the Highlands of Scotland 

 during his excursions to these localities as an artist. He afterwards made 

 a fine collection of European birds and eggs, but he gradually dropped 

 this portion of his work in order to devote himself to the study of 

 the Picidse. Of these birds he acquired a large collection, and 

 wrote memoirs on several groups of Woodpeckers. In 1887 he was 

 asked by Dr. Giinther to write the eighteenth volume of the " Catalogue 

 of Birds," which he did with his usual conscientiousness ; it is one of the 

 best-written volumes of the series. For the last few years of his life his 

 health failed him, but he occupied himself with painting a series of 

 pictures of Woodpeckers, which, it is hoped, maybe secured some da\'^ for 

 the British Museum, as his collection of birds, from which the paintings 

 are mostly taken, is now in the National Collection. Of a singularly 

 lovable dispositiou, Hargitt was endeared to a large number of artistic 

 and scientific men, and his death was mourned by a wide circle of 

 friends.
