[JARDINE 
published a folio work on Salmonidae in 1839-41. Among 
his many ornithological works there is comparatively little 
on British birds. In conjunction with P. J. Selby he pub- 
lished the valuable Illustrations of Ornithology , in which, 
however, only one or two British birds are figured (two series, 
4 vols., with 207 col. plates, Edinburgh, 1825-43), and from 
1833-43 conducted the Naturalist's Library (40 vols. 12mo), 
in which are included, amongst others, four volumes by 
himself on British birds. From 1848 to 1852 he published 
his beautiful and scarce Contributions to Ornithology (5 vols. 
8vo, 101 coloured plates), Illustrations of the Duck Tribe 
(Dumfries, n.d.), and other minor works, besides editing the 
standard English edition of Wilson’s American Ornithology 
(3 vols. 8vo, 1832), and in conjunction with P. J. Selby and 
Dr. Johnston the Magazine of Zoology and Botany (1836- 
1838), and the Annals of Natural History (1837-40). He was 
also a joint editor of the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. 
His several editions of Gilbert White’s famous work are well 
known. He was a member of the Wernerian Society from 
his twentieth year, and belonged to many other societies, 
including the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh. 
He died at Sandown, Isle of Wight, on November 21, 1874, 
and was buried at Applegirth on the 27th. His main col- 
lection of British birds, comprising 432 specimens, was sold 
to the Edinburgh Museum for £200 shortly after his death, 
the residue being sold in London in 1886 for £217 : 2 : 6. 
Dr. J. A. Harvie-Brown possesses his MS. Calendar from 
January to May 1829, and some MS. correspondence, while 
his MS. correspondence with P. J. Selby (1825-54) is at the 
University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge. Mr. H. S. 
Gladstone has now in the press an exhaustive life of Jardine. 
The second daughter of Sir William Jardine, Catherine Dorcas 
Maule, b. June 22, 1825, married in 1845 Hugh Edwin 
Strickland, eminent as an ornithologist, and assisted him 
with the illustrations for his works, while she edited, with 
her father, his Ornithological Synonyms (1855). She also 
lithographed many of the plates for Sir William’s Contributions
