affected by the disasters of his Country, he retired from Paris in the dismal autumn of 1870, 

 and was struck by Apoplexy at his country residence at Seissan (Gers), January 28, 1871. 



Far too much of his great store of knowledge has gone with him ! Beyond what he had 

 already given to the world in his published papers, but little remains in any thing approaching 

 a complete form in MS. Whatever can be made available will doubtless by the filial care of 

 M. Louis LARTET be brought to light. 



The Executors and Friends of the late HENRY CHRISTY are desirous of speedily and worthily 

 completing the ' Reliquiae Aquitanicx ' in accordance with the intentions of the Authors ; and 

 with the aid of Friends at home, and of M. Louis LARTET, M. ALPHONSE MILNE-EDWARDS, 

 M. SAUVAGE, and other Fellow-workers in France, they will proceed with the work as expe- 

 ditiously as possible. 



Owing to the melancholy events above referred to, there will be fewer Parts published than 

 originally contemplated. 



FEBRUARY 1873.
