“ us to bring to your Lordship’s notice the great benefits which 
“have generally been derived throughout the operations of the 
« Bxhibition by the experienced and learned advice which has 
“been so freely and generously afforded to us by so learned 
‘and competent an authority on all matters relating to 
“fisheries; and we trust that your Lordship may deem it 
“expedient to convey to Dr Day the sense which we entertain 
“ of his assistance.” 
The Indian Government shortly afterwards made him a 
Companion of the Indian Empire. 
Dr Day enriched our Proceedings with the following 
papers :-— 
“Qn the Burbot and Air-Bladders of Fishes.” 
“The Breeding of Fishes.” 
“ Salmonide.” 
“The Propagation of the Common Kel.” 
«“ Notes upon the Breeding of the Salmonide.”’ 
‘Notes on Hybridization.” 
It was only in January, 1889, the last one was given, 
which, owing to his illness, was read by his friend, the Rev. E. 
Cornford. 
In our neighbourhood there was no one who possessed the 
same general and accurate knowledge of fishes, and he was in 
the first rank of the Icythyologists of Great Britain and the 
Continent; and while we mourn his loss, first as a justly 
esteemed departed frien, we cannot forget there will be a 
blank for some time to come in our Proceedings in that special 
branch of Natural History which was peculiarly his own. 
Dr Day was a Fellow of the Linnean and Zoological 
Societies of London; an Honorary Member of several foreign 
Scientific bodies; and a member of the Severn Fishery Board. 
William Brown Clegram died June 3rd last at Saul Lodge. 
He was born at Shoreham, in Sussex. 
When a young man he accompanied his father, Captain 
Clegram, to Gloucester, who had received an appointment as 
Engineer to the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal Company. 
Mr Clegram was also by profession an engineer, and was 
in the service of the Canal Company for sixty years.
