SIR JOHN MURRAY 187 



It was not long after the completion of the 

 " Challenger " volumes that he turned his atten-

 the earlier years he had the devoted assistance of 

 Mr. Frederick Pullar, to whose memory the six 

 volumes of the Survey, edited by Sir John and 

 Mr. Laurence Pullar, were dedicated in 1910. 

 This work on the fresh-water lochs of Scotland 

 is classic. It has set a standard, and the inland 

 waters of Scotland have been investigated and 

 recorded in a way that the lakes of other countries 

 have still to seek. The great variety of know- 

 ledge which Murray could bring to bear upon

After a great expedition like the " Challenger " 

 some one must necessarily receive honours from 

 all learned societies and Governments, and as 

 editor of the " Challenger Reports/' Murray 

 gathered honours in every direction. He received 

 his K.C.B. in 1898 and during the same year he
