Evans, Mr Tommy Griffith. Accompanist, Miss L. E. Rowlands. N Obituary.—With sincere regret we announce the somewhat sudden death of Mr F. Coburn, of Birmingham, an old and much respected visitor to Bar- aiouth. During the past thirty-five years he had almost without a break made it a point to visit our town at least once annually.. As an Ornitho- logist, Mr Coburn was a well-known and reputed authority—it was chiefly to study the habits of migratory and other birds that these frequent visits were made. Readers of the New Visitors Guide to Barmouth will realise the ex- tent of his studies by reading the most excellent article which appears under his name. Some time ago he com- menced what was proposed to be a most extensive book on British Birds, and which in the ordinary way would take years to complete. It was in pursuit of a record for this work that he paid natures final debt. Hearing of a strange migrant at Earlswood, near Birming- ham, he was eager to study its habits. After some exertion, he located his gunny and after watching for some time he became drowsy. Falling asleep he sat for some two hours thus causing a chill, pneumonia supervened with the result that in three days he passed away at his residence, King's Norton, near Birmingham. —HI ■■ -MX »■"
