In 1866 Wallace married Aiiniej eldest daughter of 

 AVilliam Mitten^ of Hurstpierpoint ia Sussex^, and settled 

 down permanently to work at Natural and Social Science, 

 residing at different times in Kent, Surrey, and Dorset. 



The list of publications below shew the important nature 

 of his work, but they do not give any adequate idea of the 

 whole, unless account is also taken of his many contributions 

 to periodical literature. The titles of his papers in ^ The 

 Ibis ' alone fill the greater part of a column in our General 

 Subject-Index. 



In 1886-1887 Wallace was lecturing in America, and he 

 Jias since devoted himself mainly to writing on social 

 subjects. 



Of the degrees bestowed upon him we may note LL.D, 

 Dublin in 1882, D.C.L. Oxford in 1889, while in the Birth- 

 day Honours for 1908 he was awarded the Order of Merit. 

 He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and other scientific 

 bodies. 



On July 1st, 1908, at a Special Meeting of the Linnean 

 Society, he was the first recipient of the Darwin-Wallace 

 Medal, struck to commemorate the 50th anniversary of 

 the reading of the joint paper already mentioned, and 

 in November of the same year he was awarded the Copley 

 Medal of the Royal Society.
