and a Leading part. Yet withal he was of a characteristically 

 retiring disposition, preferring always to help others rather than 

 to take the prominent position to which his experience entitled 

 him. By his will he leaves a legacy of £50, free of duty, to the 

 Quekett Microscopical Club, and a similar sum to the Royal 

 Microscopical Society, of which he became a Fellow in 1887, and 

 all who knew him will regard the bequest as a gratifying proof 

 of the affection which he had for the Club of which he was for 

 so many years an honoured member. 



C. G. DUNNING. 



Owing to indifferent health Mr. Dunning had, for some years 

 prior to his death, ceased to be a frequent attendant at the Club, 

 but he will be well remembered by all the senior members. He 

 was elected on October 25th, 1872, and became a member of the 

 Committee in July, 1876, but retired on the completion of three 

 years' service, and did not again take office. He was, however, 

 for many years subsequent to this date, a prominent member of 

 the Club, and a familiar figure at the meetings 



Mr. Dunning was by profession a surveyor, and being of a 

 mechanical turn of mind, he devoted his attention to the improve- 

 ment of the microscopist's accessories, many of which were in 

 those days of the crudest kind. His improved form of turntable, 

 his portable microscope lamp — which he recently improved — and 

 his cleverly contrived live box or trough, were all useful pieces of 

 apparatus. 



Mr. Dunning died at Shrewsbury on September 29th, aged 

 seyenty-one.
