﻿expedition was invahiable. The news of his loss with the 

 ill-fated ' Endeavour ' throws an indescribable sadness over 

 his comrades of other days, and it is safe to say the hearts of 

 all beat with the deepest sympathy for his dear ones left to 

 mourn his loss." 



On his return from the Antarctic he was appointed by the 

 Federal Government Biologist to the Fisheries Bureau. In 

 this capacity his work was admirable, large collections Mere 

 sorted out, and despatched with a skill and neatness much 

 appreciated by those whose dutj^ it was to deal ^ith them at 

 a later stage. As an expression of this appreciation a new 

 shark has been callei by Mr. McCulloch Centrophorus 

 lumissoni. In the interests of Australian Marine Biology it 

 was hoped that he would long continue such excellent Avork. 

 When he embarked on the last cruise of the " Endeavour " 

 he had reached the age of forty-seven. 



Mr. W. L. May, a life-long neighbour, Myites : — " He was 

 a man of most courteous and pleasant manner, and his loss 

 will be deplored by a large circle of friends, of whom I am one." 



C. Hedley.
