Captain F. W. Hutton, Corresponding Member of the Society, died 

 on October 27th lust year, on board ship, wliilst on the way to his 

 home in New Zeahxud, after a visit to tliis country. 



He was originally intended for the Navy, but subsequently entered 

 the Army, and saw active service during the Crimean War and the 

 Indian Mutiny. A few years later he retired from military service 

 and emigrated to New Zealand, where he soon entered upon a scientific 

 career, at various times holding the posts of Assistant Geologist to 

 the New Zealand Geological Survey, Curator of the Otago Museum, 

 Professor of Natural Science in the Otago University, Professor of 

 Biology and Geology in the University of New Zealand, and Curator 

 of the Christchurch Museum. Captain Hutton was also elected 

 President of the New Zealand Institute, and President of the 

 Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science. He was 

 made Fellow of the Geological Society in 1861, a Corresponding 

 Member of the Zoological Society in 1872, and Fellow of the Iloyal 

 Society in 1892. 



The range of his scientific work, almost exclusively in connection 

 with the country of his adoption, was very wide, embracing many 

 branches of zoology and geology. He did not therefore write so 

 much on Mollusca as he might have done had his time and talents been 

 restricted to that branch of science. However, including his various 

 manuals on the fauna, he published altogether nearly 900 pages on 

 New Zealand Mollusca, both recent and fossil. 



Most of his writings appeared in the Transactions of the New 

 Zealand Institute, but he also sent contributions to other Australasian 

 journals, to the Philosophical Magazine, the Annals and Magazine of 

 Natural History, the Geologist, Geological Magazine, Journal of the 

 Geological Society, Proceedings of the Zoological Society, the Ibis, 

 Nature, Journal of Ornithology, Quarterly Journal of Microscopical 

 Science, Monthlj^ Microscopical Journal, Proceedings of the Royal 

 Society of Tasmania, Journal de Conchyliologie, New Zealand Journal 

 of Science. He also wrote a "Class-book of Elementary Geology," 

 1875; "Darwinism and Lamarokism, Old and New." 1899; "the 

 Lesson of Evolution," 1902; "Nature in New Zealand," 1903; 

 " The Animals of New Zealand," 1904. 



It will thus be seen that Captain Hutton was as prolific a writer as 

 his subjects were varied. His writings on New Zealand malacology 

 are indispensable to the student of the fauna of that country, and
