XXIV PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



1847), and 'Leaves from the Note-book of a Naturalist' (8vo, 

 1851). 



Mr. Broderip was ever ready to aid a brother Natui'alist. His 

 collections, his rare zoological library, his pure classical taste and 

 varied accomplishments, made the assistance he was able to give 

 most valuable. We find it freely acknowledged in the early 

 editions of Sir C. Lyell's ' Principles of Geology,' in the ' British 

 Fishes ' of Tarrell, in the ' Silurian System ' of Murchisou, and 

 the ' Bridge water Treatise ' of Buckland. Broderip communicated 

 a most valuable " Table of the Situations and Depths at which 

 recent Genera of Marine and Estuary Shells have been observed," 

 to the Appendix of De la Beche's ' Researches in Theoretical 

 Geology,' and, in conjunction with Captain King, " Descriptions 

 of the CiiTipedia, Conchifera, and Mollusca collected during the 

 A^oyage of H.M.S. i\-dventure and Beagle, 1826-30" (Zoological 

 Journal). 



To the ' Quarterly Review' Mr. Broderip contributed articles 

 on the Zoological Gardens, on the Vine, on the Cetacea and 

 Whale-fisheries, on the Writings of Captain Basil Hall, on the 

 Bridgewater Treatise of Dr. Buckland, &c. But the main bulk 

 of this indefatigable student's zoological writings are contained 

 in the ' Penny Cyclopaedia,' viz. from Ast to the end, including 

 the whole of the articles relating to " Mammals," " Birds," " Re^ 

 tiles," " Crustacea," " Mollusca," " Conchifera," " Cirrigrada," 

 " Pulmograda," &c., " Buffon," " Brisson," &c., and "Zoology." 



At the latter period of his career Mr. Broderip was elected 

 "Bencher" and "Treasurer" of Gray's Inn, and to him was 

 confided the especial charge of the library of that ancient and 

 honourable Society. 



An attack of deafness, whicli resisted all the remedies applied, 

 led Mr. Broderip to resign his ofiice as Magistrate at the West- 

 minster Police Court in 1856. His strict conscientiousness being 

 equalled by a most delicate consideration for the feelings of others, 

 he withdrew from much of that society of which the peculiar 

 charms of his conversation and extensive and varied knowledge 

 had made him an ornament and cherished member. His visits 

 were now restricted to a very few of his oldest and most con- 

 fidential friends, and he pursued his literary occupation with 

 redoubled assiduity. His last publication, " On the Shark," ap- 

 peared in the March Number of ' Prazer's Magazine.' It was the 

 " first part" of an article on that subject, and bears all the marks 

 of a mind in full intellectual vigour. On Saturday the 26th of
