522 MR. HOWARD SAUNDERS, IN MEMORIAM. 
(vol. ii. p. 254). In 1879 some remarks “ On Hawking near 
Yarmouth ” (vol. iii. p. 34). In 1885 a “ Memoir of John 
Scales ” (vol. iv. p. 81). In 1893 a paper “ On the Great 
Flood of 1852-3 in South-West Norfolk” (vol. v. p. 560). In 
1896 a paper on an “ Early Notice of Spoonbill Breeding in 
Norfolk ” (vol. vi. p. 158). In 1899 a note on “ The Mention 
of a Bustard in Norfolk in 1675,” and “ On Some Cranes’ 
Bones found in Norfolk ” (vol. vii. pp. 113 and 158). In 
addition to these papers, Mrs. Richard Lubbock communi- 
cated through Professor Newton some interesting letters 
relating to the Natural History of Norfolk (vol. ii. p. 388), 
to which the latter contributed valuable notes as well as to 
the White-Marsham correspondence published in the Second 
Volume of our ‘ Transactions ’ p. 133. Those of us who

the Society’s visit to Cambridge at his invitation on 22nd 
May, 1893, will have a lively recollection of his kindly re- 
ception and of the entertainments he provided for us. 
The excellent portrait accompanying this memoir is the 
gift of Mr. J. H. Gurney, by kind permission of the editor of 
‘British Birds.’ 
Second only to the loss which ornithology, and incidentally 
our own Society, has sustained in the death of Professor 
Newton, is that of Mr. Howard Saunders, who died in 
London in October, 1907. Mr. Saunders was elected a member 
of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society in 1883, and 
contributed a paper on the “ Ornithology of Spain ” to our 
‘ Transactions ’ in August, 1872. Although this was his only 
contribution, he always displayed an active interest in the 
Society, and repeatedly expi'essed his satisfaction at the 
work which it has accomplished. To the public generally, 
Saunders will be best known as the Editor of the last two 
volumes of Yarrell’s ‘ British Birds, ’ in succession to 
Professor Newton, and his ‘ Manual ’ on the same subject is 
a^model of condensed information, but his contributions to 
ornithology were numerous and valuable. He possessed 
a world-wide reputation as the acknowledged authority on
