quartan Field C/, in which much of his work on British 

 Arachnida was published. 



In 185:7 he entered University College, Durham, 

 to prepare for Holy Orders as well as for his Degree. 

 Here he obtained his instruction mainly from the lectures 

 of Dr. Henry Jenkyns, then Professor of Divinity, of 

 whom he always spoke with the greatest respect. My 

 father and his friends used to meet in the evening after 

 each lecture and compare notes, with a view to repro- 

 ducing the whole lecture as completely as possible j and 

 he kept his reports of several series of lectures, compiled 

 in this way, until a few years ago, when he sent them to 

 the library of University College. He made great friends 

 at Durham, and entered fully into the life of the Uni- 

 versity j we find him acting as Steward at steeplechases, 

 and as President of the University College Choral 

 Society he had a fine voice of wide range ; and he gave 

 to the Boat Club a Challenge Cup, which was the prize 

 in competitions for many years. Some dispute (with 

 which he had nothing to do) led to the Cup being 

 returned to him long afterwards, but in 1 896 he again 

 presented it to the Boat Club, and it is probably com- 

 peted for still. He was always proud of his connexion 

 with Durham, and when he became Rector of Bloxworth 

 a banner on which the arms of his College were em- 

 broidered was a feature in any procession in connexion 

 with festivals of the Church or School. He took the 

 Degree of B.A. in 1858, that of M.A. in 1859.
