OBITUARY. 



It is with very sincere and deep regret that I announce the death 

 of my esteemed and valued friend Mr. F. Gr. Cannon, which occurred 

 at his residence at West Hampstead, on June 7th last, at the early 

 age of thirty-seven. He was the youngest son of Major Osborne 

 Burwell Cannon, late of the 97th Regiment. 



During the past few months his failing health gradually became 

 more serious, which compelled him to give up his business duties as 

 member of the Stock Exchange, and finally his case was pronounced 

 hopeless, as rapid consumption set in a few weeks before passing 

 peacefully away. 



For seven years he was connected with the London Scottish 

 Volunteer Regiment, in which he ranked high as a first-class marks- 

 man. Latterly, up to the time of his illness, he was in the Hon. 

 Artillery Company Volunteer Regiment. 



The whole of his leisure was given up to his favourite studies of 

 ornithology and entomology. In both these branches he was a keen 

 and accurate observer ; also a successful collector, not only with the 

 net, for he was expert with both shot-gun and rifle alike, being a good 

 all-round sportsman, and endowed with remarkable perseverance and 

 ability as a field naturalist. It is not the fortune of all entomologists 

 at home to possess an almost complete collection of the British butter- 

 flies captured by their own hands ; with the exception of Lyccena acis, 

 Vanessa antiopa, Argynnis lathonia, Pieris daplidice, and Anosia plexippus, 

 he had taken all the British species. It was his pleasure to make 

 distant journeys, if only for a single day's collecting, in some remote 

 district where a certain species might be met with on the wing ; by so 

 doing he made the acquaintance of all our rarer resident species in 

 their native haunts, and many times I shared the pleasure with him. 



His many friends found in him companionship of the highest 

 qualities ; his word, deed, and generosity were of the staunchest and 

 noblest character. The great loss of his sincere friendship will be 

 keenly felt by a very large circle of friends.
