OBITUAET NOTICES. 



Though our late Fellow, Dr. Tempest Anderson, did not make 

 any direct contribution to biological science, yet by his Presidency 

 of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society and of the Museums As- 

 sociation, and by his generous bequests, he indirectly aided the 

 departments of science fcjr which our Society was founded. 



Tempest Anderson was born at York in 1846, the eldest son of 

 William G. Anderson, J.P., M.E..C.S., in the house at 17 Stone- 

 gate, which formed liis home during the whole of his life, a 

 wonderful old timbered house, in a narrow roadway leading 

 towards the Minster, a lit residence for the descendant of an old 

 Yorkshire family. A friend of his says : " Tlie garden was a 

 I'evelation to his guests, for the lawn reminded one of the turf in 

 an old college quadrangle, and a fig-tree flourished under the 

 study window." 



He was educated at the School of St. Peter's, York, and 

 University College, Gower Street, London, where he greatly 

 distinguished himself and of which he was elected a Fellow. He 

 gi'aduated at London University as B.Sc, and took the M.D. 

 degree at the same University. In 1904 the University of Leeds 

 conferred upon liim the honorary degree of D.Sc, of which he 

 was very proud.

 specializing as an oculist, became Consulting Ophthalmic Surgeon
