THE RIGHT HON. SIR FORD NORTH, 

 P.C., F.R.S., F.R.M.S. 



Bom January \th, 1830; died October 12th, 1913. 



We regret to record the death of Sir Ford North, one of our well- 

 known members. He died at his estate in Morayshire, in his eighty- 

 fourth year. He was the son of a solicitor, and became a barrister 

 practising in the Chancery Courts (1856). He was made a Q.C. 

 in 1877, and afterwards a judge, at first in the Queen's Bench 

 division (1881), and then in the Court of Chancery (1883), He 

 was a Fellow 7 of the Royal Society, and a well-known entomologist. 

 He was elected a member of the Q.M.C. in June 1894, and in the 

 same year F.R.M.S. ; hewasamember of our Committee in February 

 1899, and was one of our Vice-Presidents from February 1901. 

 His unassuming and cordial manner and the interest he displayed 

 in the objects exhibited by members produced a feeling of friend- 

 ship towards him in all those who had the pleasure of meeting 

 him, while his patience and experience in directing a meeting 

 when he occupied the chair, as was frequently the case, made him 

 a most valuable member of the Club, and one whose loss we all 

 greatly regret.
