It is a matter of great regret to us to have to record the 
death of Mr. Thomas Shepheard, F.R.M.S., who was one of the 
original members of the Society, and who was recognised in 
scientific circles as an acknowledged authority on the Portozoa 
and allied groups. 
In an obituary notice in the local Press of the late Mr. 
Shepheard it was said of him :— 
“By the death of Mr. Thomas Shepheard, which ~ 
occurred at Bournemouth, the Society has lost an active 
member and a generous supporter. He was one of the few 
now left who were actively identified with Charles Kingsley
