JOHN BICKERTON WILLIAMS, F Z. S. 



We regret to record the death, on Sunday, May 28, 191G, of 

 Mr. John Bickcrton Williams, one of the oldest members of our 

 Society. Mr. Williams had been in Toronto only about three weeks 

 since his return from Bermuda, where he had spent the winter 

 and where his health, which had been failing for the past few 

 years, had apparently much improxod 



Mr. Williams was born in Lixerpool, England, in 1848, and 

 w^as educated as an architect, practising a few years in Birmingham 

 before coming out to Canada in 188L Since then he resided chiefly 

 in Toronto, though he spent a few years in Montreal in the early 

 nineties. He was a Fellow of the Zoological Society and was in- 

 terested in various branches of zoolog>', but more especially in 

 ornithology, of which he had a wide and accurate knowledge. 

 Since 1906, when he was appointed Cataloguer of the Biological 

 Museum of the University of Toronto, he did a great deal of useful 

 work in identifying, arranging and labeling the museum specimens, 

 particularly the birds. In entomology he also accomplished i uch 

 useful work foi the museum, his interest centering in the butterflies; 

 and he contributed several articles to the Canadian Entomologist 

 and the Annual Reports of oui Society. He was for many years a 

 most valued member of the Toronto Branch of the Society, acting 

 for long periods as Secretary-Treasurer and as Librarian-Curator. 

 He was also Honorary Curator of the Royal Canadian Institute. 



Mr. Williams was unmarried, his only relative in Canada 

 being a brother, Mr. A. R. Williams, of Toronto.
