friends. In all nearly 100 papers on Central and South 
American ornithology appear under his name in the Ibis 
and Proc. Zool. Soc. 
In 1871 Salvin undertook the editorship of the third 
series of the Ibis, and, in co-operation with Sclater, concluded 
the fourth series in 1882. Meanwhile he had been appointed 
to the Strickland Curatorship in the University of Cambridge, 
and had produced his well-known Catalogue of the Strickland 
Collection. 
Salvin was one of the original members of the B.O.U., 
and was an excellent, indeed we may say almost unrivalled, 
“ all round ” ornithologist ; but his strongest subject was, 
perhaps, the avifauna of the Neotropical region, and his 
special groups the families Trochilidae and Pr ocellar iidae, 
which were assigned to him as the acknowledged authority 
thereon in the Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum 
(vols. xvi. and" xxv.). Almost his last piece of work was 
the completion of Lord Lilford’s Coloured Figures of British 
Birds. His only papers on British birds were such as the 
notice of Stevenson’s Birds of Norfolk in the Ibis for 1871, 
of Wharton’s List of British Birds in the same journal for 
1877, notices of the proposed B.O.U. List and Booth’s Dyke 
Road Museum, Brighton, in the 1878 volume, and other 
similar reviews and notices. 
Salvin was a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Linnean, 
Zoological and Entomological Societies, and served on their 
Councils ; and at the time of his death was Secretary of the 
B.O.U. He died at his residence, Hawksfold, Sussex, June 1, 
1898. Cf. obituary notice in Zoologist, 1898, p. 315.
