Rev. JAMES CONWAY WALTER. 
(1831—1913). 
ON more than one occasion the writer has had the pleasure of 
visiting the late Rev. J. Conway Walter at his Rectory at 
Langton, near Horncastle, and has pleasant recollections of his 
enthusiasm, and his many and varied interests. The Rectory 
was a veritable museum of Natural History and archeological 
and sporting trophies. His garden and grounds contained 
other curios, living and dead ; and his quaint little church was 
Rev. James Conway Walter. 
well decorated throughout by his own handiwork, for he was 
an expert wood-carver, and erected a pulpit, reading desk, 
etc., to the memory of his father, who was Rector at Langton 
before him. 
A vigorous correspondent, he never tired of. obtaining 
information, or imparting it. The pages of The Naturalist 
contain many notes from his pen. He took a prominent 
part in the meetings and excursions of the Lincolnshire 
Naturalists’ Union, ‘and occasionally visited Yorkshire on 
natural history rambles. He was President of the Lincolnshire 
Union in 1g00, and the Transactions of that Society for rgro 
contain his portrait and a brief account of his work.
