Birds. 501 



Tristram to the Universities and some of the chief towns in Great Britain 

 for the purpose. 



An expedition to Moab in 1872 with several other friends, Louis 

 Buxton, M. Trotter, E. C. Johnson, and Amhurst Hayne, was more 

 fruitful in archajological than biological results, as was another very 

 interesting seven months spent in 1881 in Northern Syria, Mesopotamia, 

 and the Euphrates Valley, of which a full account was published in the 

 'Ibis.' The same periodical contains an account of the by no means 

 inconsiderable results of the exploration by Canon Tristram and his 

 indefatigable friend, E. G. B. Meade-Waldo, of all the seven islands of the 

 Canary group. 



In 1891 he passed seven months in Central China and Japan, and has 

 skice made two journeys to the east, but without doing much biological 

 work. On his last visit to Palestine he was kicked by a mule and 

 had his leg broken, but has since been as active as ever, and still 

 performs his duties in Durham Cathedral. Appalled by the disaster 

 which overtook the badly-catalogued collection of Sir William Jardine, 

 which was sold for a fraction of its real value. Canon Tristram prepared 

 and printed a catalogue of his own collection. This was purchased by 

 the Liverpool Museum. His interest in Ornithology is, however, as keen 

 as ever, though he writes no more. In a letter recently received by me, 

 he says : " It is something to have known in my youth Jardine, Selby, 

 Yarrell, Salmon, Johnstone, and the Hancocks."
