1877 and 1880, as "the late Mr. Danford." We have 

 received a letter from Mr. Danford, dated Coudette, Pas de 

 Calais, France, May 29, 1914, in which he writes as follows: — 



"Dear Sir, — My attention has been drawn to the fact 

 that ' The Ibis ' of April (p. 336) alludes to me as among 

 the things that were. May I ask to be resuscitated.^^ 



We offer our most sincere apologies to Mr. Danford for 

 the unpardonable mistake which has occurred and which we 

 are unable to explain satisfactorily. Perhaps it may have 

 come through Mr, Danford's long seclusion from the 

 ornithological world. At any rate, may we hope that now 

 that he has declared himself, he may again contribute to 

 the pages of ' The Ibis ' as he did of old.
