Strickland's time aud attention even to his last days, for whilst the 
labours of A^^assiz formed an excellent skeleton, innumerable ad- 
ditions had to be made before the work was complete. The first 
part consists of an enumeration of periodicals arranged geogiaphi- 
cally ; the second part contains the names of authors arranged alpha- 
betically, aud a list of the works and memoirs of each. The first 
volume, of about 600 pages, only came down to the end of the letter 
B, and the whole work proved one occupying much time, and tilling 
four large volumes. On its completion, the Ray Society passed a 
resolution to issue at intervals supplements which should continuously 
l)ring tbe work up to time. This, however, was never done, which is 
much to be regretted. The time that has passed since its issue will 
render the continuation, if it ever is done, very arduous and difficult. 
Strickland's family removed in 1845 from Cracombe House to 
The Lodge, near Tewkesbury, near to the residence of his aunt. Miss

honeymofin was spent in Sweden, a countiy at that time not very much 
frequented, but which Strickland was anxious to visit in order to see 
the museums, and study the specimens in them. The journey proved 
a very pleasant one, and, as usual ^dtli him, a diary was kept of all 
his wanderings. At Haarlem he visited Prof. Van Breda, the 
Palseontologist, and at Utrecht Prof. De Jeude, who had charge of 
the geological museum. Another ornithologist, Dr. Hartlaub, was 
visited at Bremen. Profs. Nilsson, Lichtenstein, and other eminent 
scientists, received the English naturalist and his bride with every 
respect and kindness. On his return to England, after visiting his 
parents, he finally decided to settle down at Oxford. His large 
collections were greatly added to as the result of frequent rambles 
over the country of his new residence. His time was principally 
occupied in editing the Bibliographia for the Ray Society ; writing a 
history of the Dodo ; and in preparations for the meeting of the British 
Association at Oxford. The latter proved a very successful one, and
