IN MEMORIAM. II9 



have taken no unimportant place, when death from pleurisy deprived 

 him of life, and the societies with which he was connected, of his 

 valued services. He died on March 13th, 1890, in the flower of 

 his age (44). His place will not easily be filled, if at all. His 

 genial face, warm-hearted disposition, and kindliness of manner, 

 combined with a singular modesty, can never be forgotten by those 

 who knew and loved him for his own and his works' sake. 

 Universally respected, his funeral was largely attended by his 

 numerous private friends, and by his scientific and business colleagues, 

 and it is already announced that steps will shortly be taken to find 

 a fitting memorial to one who has emphatically deserved well of his 

 county. — E. M. Cole. 



JOSEPH EDWIN GARTSIDE. 



It is with feelings of sorrow and regret that I have to record the 

 sudden death, at the age of 59, of Mr. Joseph Edwin Gartside, ot 

 Elland, from apoplexy, on the 22nd February. He was a fair 

 all-round naturalist and a good taxidermist, and possessed a collec- 

 tion of birds and birds' eggs. He was the founder of the Stainland 

 Naturalists' Society, and several times its president. He was local 

 secretary and caterer to the West Riding Consolidated Naturalists' 

 Society when it held a meeting at his house, the Royal Oak Inn, 

 Bur- Wood, on the 6th September, 1873, the occasion on which many 

 of the members visited the beautiful grounds and aviaries belonging 

 to the late Mr. Samuel Shaw, of Brooklands. Mr. Gartside's kind 

 disposition and genial manner endeared him to a large circle of 

 friends. — C. C. Hanson. 



EDWARD BROOKE WRIGGLESWORTH. 



In Mr. Wrigglesworth, who was born on the i6th March 1855, and 

 died of consumption on the 21st of February, 1890, after a some- 

 what lingering indisposition, the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union loses 

 a former office-bearer and the Wakefield Naturalists' Society a 

 member to whom they owed much. At one time he occupied for 

 some years the Secretaryship of the Entomological Section of the 

 Union, his own special subject of research being the Order Coleoptera. 

 A memorial of his services to the Society in his own native city 

 exists in the form of the printed twelfth Report, issued in 1883, 

 which contains numerous records, including a full list of Shells of 

 the district, and less complete ones of Hymenopterous and Coleop- 

 terous Insects, Birds, and Mammals. He was the holder of an 

 appointment in the rate-office of the Wakefield Corporation.
