142 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
It is curious that all young “ London Fancies,” until their first 
moult, externally resemble young “ Lizards;” but, while the 
“ Lizard” undergoes no material change of colour or markings, 
the London Canary changes from the sober hue of a brown- 
spangled bird (like a Linnet) to a splendid deep uniform yellow, or 
equally fine buff or pale yellow colour, with black wings and tails 
and ever after so remains. 
It is to be regretted that Mr. Brodrick’s shy and retiring 
disposition prevented his talents from being more widely recog- 
nised and appreciated, and it will probably surprise some of our 
readers to learn that he has left behind him some of the most 
remarkable drawings (many of them coloured) of the external 
form and internal structure of British Mollusca and Sea 
Anemones* which have perhaps been ever prepared under high 
microscopic power—a feat the difficulty of which is well known 
to all who have attempted a similar task. 
Here we lay down the pen, certain that the memory of 
William Brodrick will long be held dear by all who had the 
advantage of knowing him, and that nothing would have pleased 
him better than to have known (as it is feared he did not know) 
how very highly his ‘ Falconry in the British Isles’ was esteemed 
by the many falconers and naturalists who may happen to peruse 
these lines. 
NOTES AND QUERIES. 

Cambridge Entomological Society and Field Naturalists’ Club.— 
At the Annual Meeting of this Society, held on February 15th, it was 
decided to collect information for the publication of a Fauna of Cambridge- 
shire and Huntingdonshire. It is hoped that all those who can furnish 
lists of species found in the two counties, or give any other information, 
will communicate with the Secretary, F. V. TueoBatp, F.E.S., St. John’s 
College, Cambridge. 

* A new British Sea Anemone, Phellia Brodricit, which he discovered 
in August, 1857, on the rocks at low water on Lundy Island, was named after 
him by the late Mr. P. H. Gosse, who described it in the ‘Annals and 
Magazine of Natural History’ (ser. 3, vol. iii. p. 46), and subsequently figured 
it in his ‘ History of British Sea Anemones and Corals’ (pl. viii., fig. 2).
