xlviii. IN MEMORIAM REV. O. PICK ARD- CAMBRIDGE. 



the course of the second Yarkand Mission (1885). But 

 the greater part of his work was contained in papers 

 published at first in the Zoologist and occasionally 

 in the Transactions of the Linncean Society, but mainly 

 in the Annuals and Magazine of Natural History, 

 the Proceedings of the Zoological Society, and the 

 Proceedings of the Dorset Field Club. He wrote altogether 

 (in addition to his larger works, reviews of books, 

 and short notes in various periodicals) about 130 of 

 these descriptive and faunistic papers on Spiders between 

 1859 and 1914, nearly all illustrated by the clear, accurate, 

 and artistic drawings which were so useful a feature in his 

 work. In recent years some of his discriminations of species 

 have been revised by younger students, and he always warmly 

 encouraged and welcomed such revision, even when it led to 

 the setting aside of some of his own results ; but very little 

 of his work in Arachnology has been or is likely to be undone. 

 His Monographs on the British Phalangidea (Harvestmen) and 

 Chernetidea (False Scorpions) were the first works of their 

 kind in this country, and, like the Spiders of Dorset, have 

 been the necessary starting point for all subsequent work. 



But his scientific interests were far from being confined to 

 Arachnology. He was a first -rate all-round Naturalist, and 

 there are many contributions from his pen in the Zoologist 

 and other periodicals upon Birds and Animals of all kinds, 

 while his little monograph on the Reptiles of Dorset is probably 

 familiar to many members of the Field Club. He was always 

 an ardent collector of Lepidoptera ; and between 1835 and 

 1916 (when he set his last specimens) many rare and interesting 

 species fell into his hands. He was a frequent contributor to 

 the Entomologist and other journals of the same kind ; and 

 the Proceedings of the Field Club contain several papers 

 by him on new or rare Butterflies and Moths. Of other 

 orders of Insects he took whatever came in his way, without 

 making any special search for them ; but the result was a not 

 inconsiderable collection of all orders, including many 

 varieties. But whatever he studied, he was always thorough
