from 1858 to 1868 was Curator of Comparative Anatomy in its museum, 

 where he arranged the large Lafresnaye collection of birds. 



Dr. White died January 5, 1916, at Boston, an honored and eminent 

 member of his community, and an example of the class of physician- 

 naturalists, who in a former generation were largely responsible for the 

 progress of natural science. — Glover M. Allen. 



Eric Brooke Dunlop, an Associate of the American Ornithologists' 

 Union, was killed in action in France, May 19, 1917. He was thirty years 

 of age. 



He was the son of Arthur B. Dunlop of The Hove, Frontbeck, Winder- 

 mere, England, and was educated at Rugby. From early boyhood he 

 had devoted himself to the study of birds and prepared an appendix to 

 Macpherson's 'Fauna of Lakeland.' 



In 1913 he came to Canada and was located at Winnipeg where he con- 

 tinued his studies and made contributions to 'The Auk' and 'British Birds.' 

 He enlisted in 1915 in the 78th Canadian Grenadiers but in England trans- 

 ferred to the Border Regiment. He reached France barely a month before 

 his death.— W. S. 



Henry Justice, an associate of the American Ornithologists' Union, 

 died at Philadelphia on March 1, 1918, in his seventy-fourth year. Mr. 

 Justice came of old Colonial stock and his father, Wm. W. Justice, an inti- 

 mate friend of John G. Whittier, was a conspicuous figure in Pennsylvania 

 antislavery agitation. 



While Mr. Justice was for many years engaged with his brother in the 

 wool business, he was deeply interested in the study and preservation of 

 the native birds, and was an active member of the Pennsylvania Audubon 

 Society.— W. S. 



Foreign Members op the A. O. U. — The foreign members of the 

 American Ornithologists' Union comprise two groups, Honorary Fellows, 

 elected on account of their eminence in ornithology, and limited to 25, 

 and Corresponding Fellows limited to 100. These limitations were fixed 

 at the founding of the Union and have never been changed. The two 

 classes (known prior to 1902 as Honorary and Corresponding Members) 

 correspond to the Honorary and Foreign Members of the British Orni- 

 thologists' Union but are considerably broader since the number of Hono- 

 rary Members in the latter is restricted to 10 and the number of Foreign 

 Members to 20. In addition to these, Colonial Members of the B. O. U., 

 limited to 10, are placed in a special class. 



At the first meeting of the A. O. U, 21 Honorary Members were elected 

 and four months later, on January 17, 1884, the first loss occurred through 

 the death of the veteran ornithologist Hermann Schlegel. At the second 

 meeting the list was filled and remained at the limit for more than five years 

 when a vacancy occurred in January, 1890, through the death of Tacza- 

 nowski. Since then the list has never been full and in 1911 the number
