Obituary — T. W. Shore — Professor G. B. Howes. 143 



usually voluminous, betray an immense amount of painstaking work, 

 such as few would care to undertake. As an instance, his catalogue 

 of British and European earthquakes, which covers some 250 quarto 

 pages, in the Transactions of the Eoyal Irish Academy (vol. xxviii) 

 may be mentioned. After retiring from his professorship in 1899, 

 his papers were mainly on archaeological subjects, and were chiefly 

 descriptive of some of the older ecclesiastical remains in the 

 neighbourhood of Dublin. 



Since the year just mentioned, no less than ten papers were 

 written and published by him ; he was, in fact, working up to and 

 actually on the very day of his death, which took place suddenly on 

 the evening of the 6th of January of the present year.

We regret to record the death of Mr. T. W. Shore, who for many 

 years was Curator of the Hartley Institution at Southampton, and 

 one of the founders and Organising Secretary of the Hampshire 

 Field Club. Mr. Shore was much interested in local geology and 

 archaeology, and was one of the secretaries of Section C of the 

 British Association at the Southampton meeting in 1882, for which 

 meeting he prepared the local guide. 



He was the author of articles on " The New Dock Excavation at 

 Southampton," with J. W. Elwes (1889), "The Clays of Hampshire 

 and their Economic Uses " (1890), " Springs and Streams of 

 Hampshire" (1891), "Hampshire Mudlands and other Alluvia" 

 (1893), " Hampshire Valleys and Waterways " (1895) ; all published 

 in the Papers of the Hampshire Field Club. 



On retiring from the Hartley Institution, he settled at Balham, 

 near London, and devoted himself more especially to antiquarian 

 work. He assisted in founding the Balham Antiquarian Society, 

 of which he was Secretary, and he was also Secretary of the London 

 and Middlesex ArchEeological Society.^

Biological science has sustained a heavy loss by the death of
