Biographical Notice of the late Prof. Giglioli. 543 
was followed, in 1890, by another volume of equal propor¬ 
tions styled <( Part II.-—Local Avifaunas/* and the year after 
(1891) by a third volume “Part III.—Notes of a General 
Character.” A previous work on the Italian Ornis had been 
published by Giglioli in 1886; and so recently as 1907 
another important work on the subject was produced by him, 
under the same title of “ Avifauna Italica.** These five 
volumes on the Birds of Italy are among the more important 
of his ornithological publications, and contain much valuable 
information. Besides these Giglioli wrote the letterpress of 
the illustrated work brought out by Signor Alberto Manzella 
under the title of “ Iconografia delP Avifauna Italica/* a 
work issued, in parts and not yet completed. 
Among his other Zoological publications may be mentioned 
a Manual, in two volumes, on the Zoology of Vertebrates, 
and an important work, published in conjunction with Prof. 
A. Issel, under the title of “ Pelagos/* which treats of 
pelagic life and submarine exploration. 
Giglioli was also a contributor to various zoological 
journals and periodicals, both in Italy and elsewhere, our 
own journal f The Ibis* being among the number, as were 
also f Nature * and 4 The Proceedings of the Zoological 
Society of London.* His first contribution to f The Ibis* 
dates so far back as 1863. 
Shortly after the completion of his work in connexion 
with the Ornithological Investigation, Giglioli was charged 
with the exploration of the coral-reefs and sponge-banks 
around the coasts of Sicily and the small island of Lampe¬ 
dusa, an undertaking which he discharged with his usual 
keenness and activity, obtaining as a result information of 
considerable value to science as well as to commerce. 
The last ten years of his life were much taken up with work 
arising from his numerous Government appointments, and 
particularly those in connexion with the Italian Fisheries. As 
President of the Royal Consultative Commission for Fisheries, 
and as President of various local committees appointed for the 
study and regulation of the fisheries of the Italian lakes, and 
the settlement of questions arising out of the right of other
