Hants. Since an early age lie lias devoted his spare time to 
the study of ornithology, in pursuit of which he has travelled 
extensively, including expeditions to Persia, the Kola 
Peninsula, and the White Nile, the outcome of the latter 
journey being a volume entitled Bird Hunting on the White 
Nile (1902). In recent years he has paid particular attention 
to the study of the moults and plumages of the birds of the 
British Islands, and possesses a valuable and extensive 
collection of skins relating to that subject. In 1907 he 
founded British Birds , and is the chief editor of that journal, 
to which (vol. vii. pp. 126-39) he contributed an important 
article on the moult of the Kook, the result of two years’ 
investigation. His part in the undernoted Hand-list of 
British Birds was confined to the Distribution, and is not the 
least valuable section of that work. Mr. Witherby is also an 
enthusiastic and able field-naturalist.
