Herr Vorderman of Batavia has made the discovery that 

 Chlorura hyperythra of Reichenbach "^ [species incerta ex loco 

 incerto, teste Salvadorio) is a Javari bird. A male example of 

 this strange Finch was obtained by one of liis collectors on 

 the 28th of September, 1882, on Gunong Salah, about 5000 

 feet above the sea-level. 



XXXIY.— Obituary.— Vrot J. T. Reinhardt, Dr. W. C. H. 

 Peters, Mr. W. A. Forbes, Mr. T. Grisdale. 



Our Foreign Member, Prof. John Theodore Reinhardt, 

 was born in Copenhagen on the 3rd of December, 1816. 

 After completing his course of medicine at the University, 

 he devoted himself specially to zoological work. In 1845 he 

 was appointed Naturalist to the Danish corvette ' Galatea,' 

 on a three years' cruise round the world, and took this oppor- 

 tunity of spending some time in Brazil, at Lagoa Santa, where 

 his well-known countryman. Dr. Lund, was then resident, and 

 engaged in making his celebrated collection of fossil remains 

 from the adjoining caverns. In 1848 Reinhardt returned to 

 Copenhagen, and was appointed Director of the Zoological 

 Museum of that city, a well-organized institution which many 

 of us have had the pleasure of inspecting under his cliarge. 

 This post he retained until his lamented death on the 23rd of 

 October last. Reinhardt paid two subsequent visits to J^razil; 

 and one of the most useful of his ornithological memoirs is his 

 excellent treatise upon the Avifauna of the Campos of Brazil. 

 Reinhardt was a good correspondent, and very exact and 

 methodical in all his work ; and his loss is severely felt by his 

 many friends in England.
