In Italy, needless to say, apart from his family Giglioli has 
left many who will mourn him deeply, and find it difficult, not 
to say impossible, to fill the void which his death has created 
in their lives. By them, and particularly by his pupils, so 
devoted to their “caro Professore/’ the period of friendship 
and connexion with him, long or short as it may have 
been, will be treasured as a bright landmark in their lives, 
and one on which they can always look back with pleasure. 
To his sadly stricken family, while offering my deepest 
sympathy in their bitter affliction, I can only express the 
hope that Time, the great healer, will gradually assuage 
their grief, and eventually restore to their midst the peace 
of mind so suddenly snatched from them. When this may 
happily have come about, and their thoughts are able to 
revert calmly to the past, it will be with a sense of well- 
justified pride and satisfaction that they will review the 
great results of the life which was so nobly spent in the 
cause of Science, and realize that truly such a life has not 
been lost.

Guinea Expedition of 1903, under the leadership of Prof. 
Arthur Wichmann. The greater part of it was formed at 
Humboldt Bay on the north coast, where the expedition 
remained four months, but some of the birds were obtained 
at various localities in the Bay of Geelvink and other 
places.
