Bibliography of the Writings of the late Count Salvadori. 
In the Rivista Italiana di Ormtoloqia for June, 1924, Count E. 
Arngom degli Oddi publishes a brief account of the life of the 
late Count lOmmaso Salvadori, accompanied by a valuable list 
of his published original papers numbering 338, and almost all 
dealing with ornithology. Salvadori described 27 new genera 
and 490 new species, lists of which are given. A large proportion 
of the new species were from the Papuan and Malayan regions, 
and the following Australian birds were described by him: 
Monarcha canescens, Ninox heninsularis, Pitta kreffti, Platy- 
ccrcits erythr ope plus, P. xant'hogenys. The validity of all of 
these species is still doubtful. He introduced new generic names 
for two Australian birds: Histriophaps for Cohunba liistrionica, 
and Neohhema for Buphetna bourkii. 
Salvadori wrote three of the volumes of the Catalogue of 
Birds in the British Museum-. No. 18, Psittaci, or Parrots, 1891 ; 
No. 13, Columbae, or Pigeons, 1893; and No. 19, dealing with 
the Chenomorphae (Flamingoes and Ducks), Crypturi (Tina- 
mous), and Ratitae (Emus, Kiwis, etc.), 1895. His other 
impoitant works included: “si Catalogue of the Birds of Sar¬ 
dinia, 1864; The Fauna of Italy, Part 2, Birds,” 1871-2 ; 
Catalogue of the Birds of ' Borneo, 1874; Prodromus of the 
Ornithology of Papua and' the Moluccas, 1876-1883; Catalogue 
of the Birds of the Kei Is., 1879; Ornithology of Papua and 
the Moluccas, 1879-1883; with Supplements, 1889-1891; 
“Genera Avium Families, Stringopidae, Nestoridae and Caca- 
tuidae, 190a; Families Boriidae and Cyclopsittacidae,” 1910. 
His great work on the Birds of the Papuan region will long 
cause his name to be remembered by Australasian ornithologists.

Obituary 
Mrs. A. NORTON, R.A.O.U. 
Mrs. A. Norton (nee Sybil Wright) died at Tamworth, 
N.S.W., on December 17, 1924, after an operation. All mem¬ 
bers of the Union who were acquainted with the deceased lady 
will sympathise deeply with her husband and relatives in their 
untimely loss. The late Mrs. Norton was a keen lover and 
student of bird life, and did much in an unobtrusive way for the 
protection of the birds in the district near her home. She was 
content to observe the habits of the birds in their daily life, and 
during the last years of her life, when in poor health, she derived 
great pleasure from watching the birds around her. 
In October, 1921, Mrs. Norton, with her sister, Miss Wright, 
took part in the R.A.O.U. Camp at Wallis Lake, and she con¬ 
tributed a paper entitled “Bird Notes from Boree (New England
