continuously in Cambridge, partly engaged in the work of 
the University and partly in scientific pursuits. His first 
essays at writing were articles in the History of the Berwick- 
shire Naturalists' Club , on the birds and plants of the district, 
while in 1884 he became a Fellow of the Zoological Society 
of London, and Recorder of “ Aves 55 for the Zoological 
Record. With Mr. Howard Saunders he formed a close 
friendship, and in his company made several ornithological 
expeditions in our islands. In 1879 he had become a Member 
of the British Ornithologists’ Union, while subsequently he 
served on the Committee and finally became joint-editor of 
the Ibis with Dr. Sclater in 1901. His most important 
separate book is the volume on birds in the Cambridge 
Natural History (1899), which, however, does not come 
within the scope of the present work, while the same may 
be said of the Aves Hawaiienses (8 pts. 4to, 1890-99) written 
in collaboration with Mr. S. B. Wilson.
