Professor Reichenow has been for sonic years the Curator of tlie 

 Ornithological Collections in the Imperial Museum of Natural History at 

 Berlin, where he succeeded the celebrated Professor Cabanis. In his 

 young days he made an expedition to West Africa, visiting the Gold 

 Coast and Camaroons, and forming most valuable collections of natural 

 history objects. His interest in African ornitholo^jy remains unabated, 

 and he has now probably written more essays on the Avifauna of the 

 Pithiopian region than any living man. His life-work is now being 

 focussed in a most complete manner in the " Vcigel Afrikas," which 

 he has just finished. A list of his papers and a summary of his 

 ornithological work u|) to the year 189() (now largely increased during 

 the eight years which have since elapsed) was pul)li8hcd by his friend 

 Herman Schalow under the title " Anton lieichcnow : Ein Verzeichniss 

 seiner bisherijicn Arbeiten, IKfill-lSlXi." 2K8 se])arate memoirs are 

 chronicled, with the names of 38 new genera, and 342 new species 

 described by Dr. Reichenow.

Capt. Reid has done some excellent ornithological work, in many 

 quarters of the globe. Born in 1845, he was educated at the Royal 

 Military Academy at Woolwich, and obtained his commission in the 

 Royal Engineers in 18G5. With a great love for the study of all branches 

 of natural history, but especially of birds, he commenced .serious work at 

 Gibraltar from 1870 to 1874. He was ([uartered in I'lermuila in 1874 

 and 1875, and made a special study of the birds, and published a series of 

 notes in the " Field " in 1875. These notes were atterwards re-printed

 National Museum, 1884.
