THE OOLOGISl 



DIED IN THE HARNESS. 



In going over the subscription ledger of THE OOLOGIST, the forego- 

 ing are noted as "dead," having passed away while subscribers to this 

 magazine. What a flood of memories these names bring forward. What 

 a fund of bird knowledge they carried with them to their graves. Who 

 knows had they all been spared to continue their chosen research in the 

 field of Ornithology, but that their names might have adorned some of our 

 foremost pages of bird literature. 



The name of George Noble is specially saddening to the editor. I 

 knew him so well and so long and can testify to his accurate, painstaking 

 observation of bird life, as well as to the care in the preparation of his 

 specimens. Had he lived, there is no question but that his impress would 

 have been left upon our literature. The entire collection of Mr. Noble is 

 now the property of the writer. It holds an honored place in my cabinets; 

 and no data stands higher in my estimation. 



Many of the names in this list were well and favorably known to us, 

 md many highly prized specimens have we received from them. Only a 

 short time before the death of Percy Selous and Claude L. Cummings, did 

 they enhlch our cabinet of specimens.
