I. — On the Contributions to the Anatomy and Classification 

 of Birds made by the late Prof. Garrod, F.R.S. By W. 

 A. Forbes, B.A., Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, 

 Prosector to the Zoological Society of London. 



It having been suggested to me by one of the Editors o£ this 

 Journal that a concise resume of the ornithological papers of 

 my late friend and predecessor, Prof. A. H. Garrod, F.R.S., 

 would not only form an appropriate memoir of him, but 

 would also be useful to those ornithologists who are interested 

 in the anatomy of birds and the questions of classification 

 that depend on it, I have endeavoured in the present paper 

 to give a short sketch of the contributions Prof. Garrod made 

 to our knowledge of, and of his views on these points. 



In the seven years (1872-1879) during which Prof. Garrod 

 held the post of Prosector to the Zoological Society, no less 

 than thirty-eight papers from his pen (all, with one exception"^, 

 published in the Zoological Society's ' Proceedings ') appeared, 

 dealing with various points in the anatomy or physiology of
