 and of these old teachers Lord Rayleigh and Professor 

 Vines have been actively appreciative of his researches 

 in Physics and Vegetable Physiology respectively, through- 

 out their long series, and sponsors for their presentation 

 to the Royal and Linnean Societies. With Francis 

 Darwin, too, cordial relations have been maintained ; 

 and now and then an old acquaintanceship is revived.
