His thoughtful interest in Kew, where his annual visit-, up to 

 the outbreak of the late war, were looked forward to by all the 

 staff, was manifested in many ways. A warm comradeship, the 

 outcome of their kindred interests, subsisted between him and the 

 late gifted Curator, Mr. George Nicholson, whose failing health 

 and all too early death caused Trail keen distress. At the 

 request of Sir William Thiselton-Dver, Trail supplied the general 

 account of the galls observed at Kew for the volume devoted to 

 the ' Wild Fauna and Flora ' of the gardens, issued in .1906 

 (K.B. Add. ser. v. p. 41-46). In 1908 he favoured the museum 

 with an account of the methods. successfully adopted bv him in 



_ w X w 



the preservation of green colours in botanical specimens exposed 



to light (K.B. 1908, pp. 49-52). 



Far more, to those who enjoyed the privilege of Trail's friend- 

 ship, than what he had done, was what he was. Whether in 

 lecture-room or laboratoi v, among the contents of a museum or 

 under the open sky, it was the fine nature of the man rather than 

 his wide knowledge that most impressed and influenced those in 

 his company. Writers more polished, speakers more eloquent 

 there have been. But no one ever was more accurate in state- 

 ment, more careful in reasoning, more kindly in judgment. 

 His memory will long remain screen and nowhere can it remain 

 greener than at Kew. d. p.
