1892 FELLOWSHIP AT CAIUS COLLEGE 311 



of Honorary Fellows. This seems to me very generous, 

 seeing how I have played the prodigal and squandered 

 my living on endowing the enemy. 



Please give my very heartiest love and good wishes 

 to the bride. Take also my Christmas greetings for 

 all three of you, coupled with the congratulations that 

 are so meet, and believe me to remain, 



Yours ever affectionately, 



GEO. J. ROMANES. 



To James Romanes, Esq. 



Madeira: 1892. 



I suppose you will have seen in the newspapers, or 

 have been told by Char., 1 that Caius College has made 

 me an Honorary Fellow. 2 This is a great pleasure to 

 me, because I have always retained my first love for 

 Cambridge, and yet of late years I have so severed 

 my connection with it. These coals of fire have 

 therefore a heat about them which is all the more 

 gratifying. 



To Professor Ewart. 



This would be a wonderful place for natural history 

 if I were well enough to knock about. 



I get fishermen, however, to bring any marine 

 animals which they know to be rare. There is one 

 fish which I never heard of before, and which seems 

 to me remarkable on account of its curious combi- 

 nations of character, for in all respects it seems to be 

 a large dog-fish, excepting its teeth, which are those 

 of a shark. 



1 A pet name for his sister. 

 A window to his memory is to be placed in Gains College Chapel.
