expedition was invaluable. The news of his loss with the 

 ill-fated ' Endeavour ' throws an indescribable sadness over 

 his comrades of other days, and it is safe to say the hearts of 

 all beat with the deepest sympathy for his dear ones left to 

 mourn his loss." 



On his return from the Antarctic he Avas appointed l^y the 

 Federal Government Biologist to the Fisheries Bureau. In 

 this capacity his work was admirable, large collections were 

 sorted out, and despatched with a skill and neatness much 

 appreciated by those whose duty it was to deal with them at 

 a later stage. As an expression of this appreciation a new 

 shark has been called by Mi'. McCulloch Centrophorus 

 harrissoni . In the interests of Australian Marine Biology it 

 was hoped that he would long continue such excellent work. 

 When he embarked on the last cruise of the " Endeavour " 

 he had reached the age of forty-seven. 



Mr. W. L. May, a life-long neighbour, MTites : — " He was 

 a man of most courteous and pleasant manner, and his loss 

 will be deplored by a large circle of friends, of whom I am one."
