Among his more general writings were his Vice-Presidential address 

 to the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Zoology, at 

 Toronto in 1897, on Life-history Studies of Animals (reprinted in Ann. 

 Rept. Smithson. Inst. for 1897), and his hooks Round the Year, Short 

 Nature Studies (1896) ; House, Garden and Field (1904) ; Object Les- 

 sons from Nature; and Thirty Years of Teaching; while with W. W. 

 Fowler he furnished an introduction and notes to an edition of Gilbert 

 White's Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1901). 



Of afl of these his Natural History of Aquatic Insects is the 

 best known ; in it and in The Cockroach he displays that admira- 

 tion for the work of Reaumur and others which perhaps led 

 him to those studies resulting in his brief History of Biology 

 (1911), one of the History of the Sciences series published by 

 the Putnams of New York, and The Early Naturalists, then- 

 Lives and Work, 1530-1789 (London, Macmillan, 1912). In 

 the preface to this last he wrote : 



The early naturalists have occupied so much of my leisure of late 

 years that it becomes a pleasant task to write about them. My chief 

 aim is to induce such readers as I may find to make themselves better 

 acquainted with the founders of modern natural history. ... In- 

 sects take up more than their due share of space, partly because they 

 are really prominent in the works of early naturalists, partly because old 

 books about insects give me more than common pleasure. 



To those unacquainted with this volume it may well be com- 

 mended. P. P. C.
