 Presented. [92. 12. 23, 1-5.] 



Professor Reichenow has been for some years the Curator of the 

 Ornithological Collections in the Imperial Museum of Natural History at 

 Berlin, where he succeeded the celebrated Professor Cabanis. In his 

 young days he made an expedition to West Africa, visiting the Gold 

 Coast and Camaroons, and forming most valuable collections of natural 

 history objects. His interest in African ornithology remains unabated, 

 and he has now probably written more essays on the Avifauna of the 

 Ethiopian region than any living man. His life-work is now being 

 focussed in a most complete manner in the "Vogel Afrikas," which 

 he has just finished. A list of his papers and a summary of his 

 ornithological work up to the year 1896 (now largely increased during 

 the eight years which have since elapsed) was published by his friend 

 Herman Schalow under the title " Anton Reichenow : Ein Verzeichniss 

 seiner bisherigen Arbeiten, 1869-1896." 288 separate memoirs are 

 chronicled, with the names of 38 new genera, and 342 new species 

 described by Dr. Reichenow.

 Mr. Reid was the Honorary Curator of the Lucknow Museum for 

 many years, and wrote a catalogue of the collection of birds in that 

 institution (" Catalogue of the Birds in the Provincial Museum, N.W.P. 

 and Oudh, Lucknow, on the 1st of April, 1889," Allahabad, 1890, 8vo, 

 pp. iv., 358). He sent me a fine series of the Starlings from that locality, 

 when I was writing the thirteenth volume of the " Catalogue of Birds," 

 most of them being Sturnus menzbieri.

Capt. Reid has done some excellent ornithological work, in mauy 

 quarters of the globe. Born in 1845, he was educated at the Royal 

 Military Academy at Woolwich, and obtained his commission in the 

 Royal Engineers in 1865. With a great love for the study of all branches 

 of natural history, but especially of birds, he commenced serious work at 

 Gibraltar from 1870 to 1874. He was quartered in Bermuda in 1874 

 and 1875, and made a special study of the birds, and published a series of 

 notes in the " Field " in 1875. These notes were afterwards re-printed 

 in the "Zoologist" in 1877, and again in Bulletin No. 25 of the U.S. 

 National Museum, 1884. 



During the first Boer War, Capt. Reid was ordered to Natal, where,
