Biographical Notice of the late Prof. Giglioli. 545 
tribes. In the course of this study he succeeded in forming 
a most valuable and interesting private collection of pre¬ 
historic implements and weapons of primitive and savage 
warfare. This collection is most carefully and admirably 
arranged, and, whatever may be its ultimate destination, it is 
sincerely to be hoped that it will be preserved intact and not 
broken up. Giglioli was also a Geographer of no mean 
merit, and represented his country at all the International 
Geographical Congresses that have been held of late years. 
He was a constant contributor to the Bulletin of the 
Italian Geographical Society, of which he was an Honorary 
Member. Among his other publications may be mentioned 
his translation into English of Beccari’s “ Wanderings in the 
Great Forests of Borneo/'’ a volume of 450 pages, which was 
very favourably reviewed by f The Athenaeum/ and, what 
pleased Giglioli greatly, was pronounced to have been written 
“ with great mastery of the English language.” 
Giglioli was indeed a man of wonderful versatility and 
general qualifications, and, at the same time, most thorough 
and painstaking in all he undertook to do. His capacity for 
work was prodigious, as shown by the long list of his 
published writings, the collections he formed, the many 
zoological explorations carried out by him, and the number¬ 
less scientific meetings he attended, and all this over and 
above his ordinary Professorial and other work. In no way 
exhausted by his day’s labours at the Museum, it was his 
habit to work far into the night at home. 
Notwithstanding his many and varied occupations, how¬ 
ever, Giglioli always found time to give a helping hand to 
any of his pupils, or to young struggling students who might 
be in want of his assistance, and was invariably kind and 
sympathetic with them, as well as considerate in the way he 
helped them. For this reason he was naturally very popular 
and much beloved by them, as indeed he was by all those 
who knew him well, and had the opportunity of appre¬ 
ciating his many sterling qualities. Few men perhaps 
have ever had such a gift of making and of retaining 
friends as Giglioli had. His geniality formed an irresistible
