At the time of his death he had in hand a memoir on the 

 Morphology of the Anatidce and the Alcidce, designed to form 

 one of the ' Cunningham Memoirs ' published by the Royal Irish 

 Academy ; and an important paper on the Morphology of the 

 Gallinaceous Birds, accepted for publication by the Linnean 

 Society, the plates for which had fortunately been drawn by him 

 and lithographed under his direction by his son, Mr. M. P. Parker. 

 It is much to be regretted that he has not lived to revise the 

 proof-sheets of this his last contribution to Zoology.
