to impair its present pre-eminence among the collections 

 of the world, or to diminish the great reputation it enjoys 

 among scientists of every nationality. That such is the 

 case is largely owing to the unstinted labours, boundless 

 enthusiasm and love of his science of our deceased friend, 

 and assuredly no one deserves to be held in more grateful 

 remembrance by all those who are proud of, and interested 

 in the welfare, of our national Museum of Natural History 

 than does Richard Bowdler Sharpe. 



Dr. Sharpe married, in 1867, Emily, youngest daughter 

 of the late James Walter Burrows, of Cookham, who 

 survives him, and he leaves a family of ten daughters. 



A list of his numerous works and a summary of his 

 published papers, including his many contributions to 

 the journals and proceedings of scientific societies is 

 appended. This list is taken from the " Bulletin of the 

 British Ornithologists' Club," by the kind permission of 

 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, the editor of the Bulletin.
