OBITTTART NOTICES. 117 



of apoplexy — (brouglit on by excitement on the return of the 

 lifeboat from "The Groodwins) " — from which he never rallied. 

 He passed peacefully away on May 28th, aged sixty-two. 



He was, on the 30th of May, laid to his rest, in the Deal 

 cemetery, followed by sincere friends ; and the four boatmen (at 

 his widow's request) acted as bearers — they having, on the 

 Sunday, borne him from the beach. A talented Cornishman 

 " de la vieille roche." Our county is the poorer for his loss. 



H. MICHELL WHITLEY. 



The lamented death of Dr. Edmund Eundle, F.E.C.P.I., 

 on the 14th January, 1894, at Umtatli, South Africa, was a sad 

 shock to his friends in this country ; he had been a member of 

 the Institution since 1885, and was placed on the Council three 

 years after. 



His residing at Porthleven, before coming to Truro, 

 enabled him to devote attention to his favourite pursuit, 

 Pisciculture, and the Museum has been enriched with many 

 excellent casts of fish, of his making. Our Journal contains 

 papers on the " Instinct of Fishes," and on the investigation of 

 the habits of the Torpedo Pay, both from his pen. 



Mr. Pundle was awarded a medal by the Poyal Cornwall 

 Polytechnic Society, for an apparatus he invented for smoking 

 fish. 



He was generally interested in most branches of science, 

 and took a leading part in those societies with which he was 

 connected. 



The loss to science of Mr. William Pengelly, F.E.S., 

 deserves more than a passing notice. Formerly an honorary 

 member, of the Eoyal Institution of Cornwall and a contributor 

 to its Journal, he evinced an interest to the last, in its proceedings.
