136 Obituary. 



During the latter part of his life he lived at Broadstone, a 

 village in Dorset, about seven miles from Bournemouth, and 

 it was there that he died after a short illness lasting only a 

 few days. 



Wallace was perhaps the last distinguished representative 

 of an old type — the naturalist, traveller, biologist, geo- 

 grapher, and knower of species, with a mind always seeking 

 to discover the causes of things, but with no taste for 

 the modern methods of morphology, or for the newer forms 

 of chemical, physical, ^nd mathematical analyses now so 

 much in vogue in zoological research. A man of great 

 human sympathies, always ready to champion the cause of 

 the oppressed and to make the world a better place to live 

 in, he was himself of a gentle and reflective nature and had 

 no ambition to shine forth among his fellow men.
