540 Biographical Notice of the late Prof, Giglioli, 
University of that town. The following year he had 
the great grief of losing his father, to whom he was much 
attached. 
In 1865 Giglioli was appointed assistant Naturalist, under 
Prof. De Filippi, to the expedition, fitted out chiefly for the 
purpose of scientific research, which was being despatched 
by the Italian Government in the war-ship c Magenta/ De 
Filippi unfortunately dying of cholera during the voyage, 
Giglioli was left in sole command of the expedition at the 
early age of 22, hut, with his usual energy and resourceful¬ 
ness, succeeded in carrying out his work most satisfactorily, 
and returned in three years’ time, after having circum¬ 
navigated the globe. A full account of this expedition 
was published by Giglioli in 1876, in a volume of 1040 pages, 
illustrated by numerous plates and maps. Various other 
papers treating of the scientific results obtained during this 
voyage were published by him at different times, among 
others one in f The Ibis/ under the title of “ Some new and 
little-known Birds collected during a Voyage round the 
World/’ 
In the year 1869 Giglioli was appointed Instructor in 
Zoology and Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates at the 
Royal Institute of the Higher Studies in Florence, a post 
which he occupied uninterruptedly—it is needless to say with 
what measure of dignity, honour and success—for forty years, 
or until the day of his death. In 1874 he was named 
Ordinary Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy of 
Vertebrates at the Royal Institute, and assumed the direction 
of the Florence Zoological Museum. In 1871 Giglioli 
married Signorina Casella, a lady of distinguished Lombard 
family, and exceptionally gifted, whose loving devotion and 
solicitous interest, one may almost say co-operation, in her 
husband’s work, were at times of great service to him. 
Three children were born of this union, two sons and a 
daughter. The elder of the sons, Odoardo, has a Govern¬ 
ment post as Inspector of the Art Galleries in Florence ; the 
second, Guido, has qualified at our English Royal College 
of Physicians, in addition to taking his Italian degree, and
