In Memonam: Re. fF. H. Woods, B.D. 143 
pages 231-250 ; reprinted as a Hull Museum publication, No. 
gi). This list included all the known marine shells of York- 
shire, and subsequently Mr. Woods paid more _ particular 
attention to the almost microscopical mollusca, and added 
many further species to the list. While he placed the best, 
and in many cases the only local examples in the Museum at 
Hull, where the collection is specially set apart, he has given 
specimens to the Beverley and other museums. His own 
collection was an extensive one, including specimens from 
different parts of the country. . 
With his wild flowers Mr. Woods had infinite patience, 
and was successful in preserving many of the most difficult 
species in their natural colours. 
In 1904 he became a member of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ 
Union, and since then he has taken a prominent part in the 
organization of the Marine Biology Committee. He was a 
regular attender at the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union meetings 
and excursions, and has also on many occasions given lectures, 
and conducted excursions, for the Hull Scientific and Field 
Naturalists’ Club and other similar bodies. 
He frequently asked his naturalist friends to his home at 
Bainton on the Wolds, where they always enjoyed examining 
his extensive collections. 
Mr. Woods was the Rector of Bainton, was educated at 
Oxford, and in 1910 the present Archbishop of York made him 
one of his examining chaplains. He was an exceptionally 
hard worker, very enthusiastic, and will certainly be missed 
by many of the readers of this journal.
