514 Biographical Notice of the late Prof. Giglioli. 
States to participate in such fisheries, Giglioli’s time was 
fully occupied. Indeed it is surprising how, with so much 
outside work in addition to his every-day Museum duties—for 
these he never neglected—he yet found time to write so much 
as he did. During the last two years he was also occupied 
on a work which would probably have proved of the greatest 
value, being a descriptive Catalogue of the Vertebrates of 
the Florence Museum. Unfortunately it is far from being 
completed. 
In the early part of this notice I have alluded to Giglioli as 
being not only a good Ornithologist, but also a first-class all¬ 
round Zoologist. I may now add that although Ornithology 
was his favourite branch of Zoology, he was quite competent 
in other branches as well, and as an Ichthyologist he was 
undoubtedly one of the best authorities in Europe. 
A strict binomialist and non-splitter, he entertained very 
decided views on the subject of nomenclature, and did not 
hesitate to express them should occasion require it. He 
was, however, willing to accept trinomialism in the case of 
well-defined subspecies or geographical races, provided that 
this was applied solely to such subspecies or races, and not 
to what he called the mother-species as well. This is, more 
or less, in accordance with the ideas expressed by me in my 
work on Tunisian Birds. 
As an Anthropologist and Ethnologist Giglioli bore a high 
reputation, and in addition to being Vice-President of the 
Italian Anthropological Society, he was an Honorary Fellow of 
our own Boyal Anthropological Institute, as well as of other 
similar Societies on the Continent. His literary contribu¬ 
tions to the Italian f Archivio d'Antropologia e PEtnologia 9 
were many and varied, while he also wrote occasionally for 
the London periodical f Man’ and the Leiden c Intern. 
Archiv fur Ethnographie.” 
An interesting work was published by Giglioli in 1901 
entitled u Material for the Study of the Stone Age from 
Prehistoric down to Modern Times.” He devoted himself 
more especially to the study of prehistoric and aboriginal 
races, as well as of little-known and uncivilized modern
