impaired health, Mr. Moore died suddenly on Ist January, 1887, 

 and was buried at Brompton Cemetery. 



Dr. IIenrt Mukeoe died on the 4th January, 1SS7, in his 

 sixty-eighth year, being at the time of his death one of the oldest 

 medical practitioners in Hull. The son of a whaling-captain, he 

 directed his attention to the study of the Cetacea, and was the 

 author of a work on the ' History of the Greenland Fisheries.' 

 He also contributed a memoir to the British Association at the 

 Hull Meeting in 1853 on Statistics relative to the Northern 

 Whale Fisheries from 1772 to 1852, in which he gave a full 

 account of the rise and progress of that industry. For many 

 years he took a great interest in the temperance movement. 



He was elected a Fellow of this Society on the 5th May, 1859, 

 and was a M.E.C.S. and L.S.A. 



Edwin Story died on the 1st February, 1886, in his fifty-ninth 

 year. He was educated at Shrewsbury School, and afterwards 

 entered St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took a scholar- 

 ship and ultimately graduated. He was a devout lover of scien- 

 tific truth, and in Natural History devoted his attention especially 

 to the study of entomology. 



He was elected a Fellow of this Society on the 18th June, 

 1868, and was also a Fellow of the Geological, Astronomical, and 

 Geographical Societies. 



By tbe death of Isaac Andeesok Henrt, Esq., of Hay Lodge, 

 Trinity, Edinburgh, Horticulture has lost one of its most devoted 

 cultivators and liberal patrons. During many years of a very 

 long life he was a prominent representative in Scotland of a class 

 of cultivators who occupy a position between that of a scientific 

 botanist or horticulturist and a practical gardener, benefitting 

 and being benefitted by both. 



Mr. Anderson Henry was born in Caputh, Perthshire, at the 

 beginning of the century, and was descended from the Ander- 

 sons of Auchranie, who for several centuries held their land 

 of the Crown on the payment of a white rose at Midsummer. 

 He was educated for the Law, and for some years practised as a 

 Solicitor before the Suj^reme Courts of Edinburgh, a profession 

 which he abandoned on his accession to estates that brought him 

 independence, at the same time requiring him to assume the name 

 of Henry. The result of this change of circumstances was the 

 enabling him to devote his life to Horticulture, a pursuit for 

 which he had early developed a passion, and to the formation 

 of a garden which as early as 1836 was known for the rarity 

 of some of its contents, as was its owner for his liberality in 

 promoting scientific horticulture. These were emphatically the 

 days of Botanical Gardens in Great Britain, public and pri- 

 vate, when, under the elder McNab, the Edinburgh Botanical 

 Garden was the first in the United Kingdom, and when those of 

 Liverpool, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, and of Glasnevin and Trinity
