312 Obituary. 



out on the iMarman coast and in Russian Lapland in the 

 summer of 1899. The results of these were again recorded 

 in 'The Ibis' and subsequently published in his second 

 volume, ' Three Summers among the Birds of Lapland/ 



During these excursions the eggs of many rare Arctic 

 birds were obtained, and very full observations were made, 

 all of which were duly recorded in our pages. 



Mr. Pearson was also an enthusiastic member of the 

 British Ornithologists' Club, and from 1903-05 served on 

 the Committee and acted as a Vice-Chairman. 



It may be stated with truth that no other Englishman 

 since the time of John Wolley has done so much good 

 ornithological work in the Arctic regions of Russia as Henry 

 Pearson. An excellent observer and a most enthusiastic 

 ornithologist, he spared no trouble or fatigue to thoroughly 

 authenticate his observations, which are most reliable. 

 Physically strong, of great energy and resource, he was an 

 excellent traveller and a most agreeable companion. 



The following is a list of his papers published in 'The 

 Ibis,' and of the titles of his two separately published 

 works : —
