liis interest in ornitliology never slackened. So lately as 

 October the 23rd he attended a meeting of the British 

 Ornithologists' Cluh^ and took part in their discussions, and 

 up to within a week of his death was able to see his friends 

 and to converse on moot questions in ornithology. 



At the time of his death Seebohm had in preparation a 

 paper for ' The Ibis' on the birds of Vladivostock, whence 

 he had recently received an important collection, and an 

 Illustrated Monograph of the Thrushes, to which he had 

 devoted much time and attention for many years, was nearly 

 ready for publication. 



Henry Seebohm was the author of 71 memoirs and papers 

 which have appeared in this Journal since 1876. A few 

 other products of his pen will be found in the ' Proceedings 

 of the Zoological Society,' 'The Zoologist,' and in other 

 periodicals. The following is a list of his separately
