Almost the last official duty which fell to Sir William Flower in his capacity as Director of the Natural History Departments, before he retired to enjoy a well-earned repose, was to pass through the press the pages of the final volume of the British Museum Catalogue of Birds, a work which may be justly described as the greatest of its kind.

It can, in fact, be only compared with the great works of GOULD and SELBY, which being on so much larger a scale, from containing nearly life-size portraits of the birds themselves, are beyond the reach of most students of British ornithology, even with the aid of a great public library.
