evil SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF ANDREW DOWNS—PIERS. 
dence with the foremost naturalists of his day. He had a high sense 
of honour and was of a genial, kindly disposition, and was much 
respected by all who knew him. It has been truly said of him by his 
friend, Charles Hallock, that ‘his modesty was always such that his 
name is hardly known outside of scientific circles, while his credentials 
he folded away in a napkin.” He remembered once seeing Audubon, 
with whom he also corresponded, and was a friend and great admirer 
of Charles Waterton, the naturalist, at whose house, Walton Hall, 
in England, he had been a guest, and whose ‘“ Wanderings in 
South America” he greatly admired and frequently quoted. He also 
corresponded with Frank Buckland and most of the foremost zoolo- 
gists of his time.
