Altliough Sir Jonx Murray was very near to seventy-four 

 years of age at the time of the accident in which he lost 

 iiis life, he had not commenced to show any failure of either 

 bodily or mental po\\ers. Only a few months before the fatal 

 event be had given to the public a handbook upon Oceanography, 

 and his obviously strong constitution showed no signs of being 

 impaired. This robustness of body induced sane work, and the 

 characteristic oP Murray's contributions to science reflect this 

 association. Immense application in the collecting and formu- 

 lation of details of fact, coupled with perfectly clear deduction, 

 uninfluenced by any desire to produce unnaturally straii:ied effects, 

 is the distiuguishiug feature of In's work. The researches con- 

 ducted by Murray were, as is well known, entirely connected with 

 the geology of oceans and lakes ; aud the most important of all 

 his conclusions is, of course, that relating to the formation of coral 

 reefs, in which he revolutionised opinion current at the time.
