FRANCIS ARCHER. 
WE regret to have to record the death, from diphtheria, after a nine 
days’ illness, of the well-known naturalist, Mr. Francis Archer. 
r. Archer, who was born in Renshaw Street, Liverpool, on 
June 17th, 1839, was the son of the late Francis Archer, surgeon, a 
native of Belfast, who settled in Liverpool early in life. His mother’s 
maiden name was Frances Fletcher, daughter of Joseph Fletcher, 
merchant, of Liverpool. His taste for natural history was inherited 
from his father, who had a good medical practice in Liverpool, and 
was well-known among the naturalists of his day. 
April 1892. H
