Heteroprion desolatus alexanderi. 
Mattingley, Arthur Herbert Evelyn. —Born July 11th, 1870. Present-day Australian 
Ornithologist who has contributed some interesting paper's to the Emu, but is better 
known from his propagandist photographic work in connection with bird protection, etc. 
His presidential address in the Emu, Vol. XIV., p. 120 et seq., 1915, proves that had 
he adapted his talents to systematic work he would have been a great motive in 
Australian ornithology on the technical side. 
May, C. E.—Air Australian Ornithologist whose collections in the Northern Territory have 
provided Ashby with novelties. 
May, W. L—An Australian Naturalist who, although a member of the Union, has not 
written upon ornithology. 
Meek, Albert S.—An ardent collector through New Guinea and the adjoining islands of 
the Louisiade Archipelago, etc., on behalf of Lord Rothschild; his men called at 
Cape York and made a collection which was reported upon by Hartert (Nov. Zool., 
Vol. VI., pp. 423-428, 1899), who described as new: Artamus leucorhynchus parvirostris , 
Zosterops westernensis vegeta and Bathilda ruficauda clarescens. 
Mellor, John White. —Born Dec. 10th, 1868. Present-day Australian Ornithologist of the 
first rank who has written many good papers in the Emu and South Australian Ornitholo¬ 
gist, and sent me very full and valuable notes for incorporation in my Birds of Australia. 
Described Amytornis merrotsyi in the Emu and Climacteris erythrops parsoni (Vol. IV.), 
Leggeornis lamberti eyrei (Vol. VI.), and Sericornis maculatus geraldtonensis (Vol. VI.) in

Memoires Paris Museum. —Continuation of the Annales (q.v.), and followed by the Archives 
(q.v.) in which Pucheran’s (q.v.) paper on types appeared. 
Memoires St. Petersburg. —Erratic publication which is very difficult to collate, but dates 
are sometimes given at end of numbers. Contains papers by Brandt of great impor¬ 
tance, and these papers are in parts dated. 
Menzies, Archibald. —Born 1754. Died 1842. Surgeon on Vancouver’s vo}^age, who 
collected the first specimen of the Musk Duck, described as Anas jubata by Shaw and 
Nodder (q.v.). As Vancouver only called at King George’s Sound in Australia that 
fixes the locality. 
Meston, Archibald. —Australian collector who accompanied the Scientific Expedition to 
Bellenden Ker, and in his field report recorded that De Vis had proposed the new genus 
Corymbicola and the new specific O. mestoni for a bird he found, before De Vis recognised 
that it was his-own Prionodura newtoni described from a young bird.
