My friend Dr. Chaster, of Southport, whose lamented 

 death took place on May 5th, was greatly interested for 

 many years in the study of the Foraminifera. 



His chief work on this subject is a " Report upon the 

 Foraminifera of the Southport Society of Natural History 

 District," which is a valuable addition to the literature of 

 the British Foraminifera. 



Dr. Chaster was a very acute observer, a most genial 

 man, and personally I owe much to him, as he was the 

 means of my taking up the study of the Foraminifera. I 

 cannot let this opportunity pass without stating how 

 much his death is regretted, and especially by those who 

 had the good fortune to know him intimately.
