King's College, Windsor, (B. A., 1852; M. A., 1856; D. C. L., 

 1888). For over forty-four years laboured successfully as a 

 clergyman of the Church of England at St. Margaret's Bay, 

 Digby, etc., and was editor of ' Church Work' and 'The Hali- 

 fax Church Chronicle'; and also was a governor of King's 

 College. Married, 30th June 1853, at Liverpool, N. S., 

 Charlotte Ann Barss (U. E. Loyalist descent). During a 

 busy life as a country parson, he found in natural history a 

 recreation, although not claiming to be an authority on the 

 subject. He was an original member of the Institute and was 

 proposed as a member of the first council, but as he lived at a 

 distance from Halifax he could take but little active part in 

 its work; and in 1890 was elected a corresponding member. 

 He published six papers in its Transactions, all relating to 

 either the fishes or birds of St. Margaret's Bay, where he was 

 stationed for thirteen years and so had ample opportunity 

 of gathering from the fishermen much information regarding 

 the inhabitants of the deep. (See obituary, Trans. N. S. I. S.,

 R. G. S., ethnologist. Born at Windsor, N. S., 3 June, 1831, 

 son of Judge T. C. Haliburton ('Sam Slick') ; died at London (?) , 

 March, 1901. Was educated at King's College, Windsor 

 (matriculted 1845; B. A., 1849; M. A., 1852; D. C. L., 1877), 

 and then studied law, becoming a barrister in July 1853, and 

 practised in Halifax. Was secretary of the N. S. Commission 

 for the London exhibition of 1862. From 1871 to 1876 he was 

 in England in connection with some Nova Scotian coal areas 

 in which he was interested; and in 1877 moved to Ottawa. 

 Ill health compelled him in 1881 to give up his practice in 

 Canada, and to spend the winters in tropical or sub-tropical 

 climates, his movements during these times being often not 

 known to his friends for long periods. Since then he devoted 

 his attention chiefly to ethnological investigations, the study 

 of the pigmy races being particularly attractive to him. He
