1874, and the Fullerian Professorship of Physiology at the 
Royal Institution in 1875. He was also appointed one of 
the Examiners in the Natural-Science Tripos in 1876, and 
was for several years a constant contributor to ‘ Nature.’ 
In 1876, when he had just completed his thirtieth year, he 
as elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. 
“Tn the simple and single-hearted devotion to the sciences 
he cultivated he was without a particle of jealousy or 
mistrust of others, but was always anxious to assist those 
who were working in the same direction; and his room at 
the Zoological Gardens was gradually becoming the profitable 
resort of many of the younger workers at comparative 
anatomy, who were encouraged in their labours by his advice 
and example. 
“Up to little more than a year ago he was apparently in the 
enjoyment of vigorous health; but symptoms of the insidious 
disease (phthisis) which terminated his existence, then for 
the first time showed themselves. Through the gradual 
decline of his powers, and amid considerable suffering, borne 
with the greatest patience and calmness, he continued to the 
last to spend all his remaining strength in making the know- 
ledge which he had acquired available for the instruction of 
those that should come after.”
