The above publications by Sir John Gilbert display his great 

 ability, accuracy, conscientiousness, and acquaintance with the 

 subjects in question; they indicate also his untiring industry and 

 perseverance, without which he could not have accomplished all that 

 he did. There is good reason for the belief that his days were 

 shortened by his devotion to his life-work. 



Sir John Gilbert was a Member of the Senate of the Royal Univer- 

 sity of Ireland, also Trustee of the National Library of Ireland, and 

 Governor of the National Gallery of Ireland. He was a Member of 

 the Council of the Pipe-Eoll Society of London, also Pellow of the 

 Society of Antiquaries, London, and a Member of the Bibliographical 

 Society, &c. 



Geoege James Allman was born in Cork in 1812; he was the 

 eldest son of James C. Allman, of Bandon. He received his school 

 education at the Belfast Academical Institution, and afterwards 

 commenced reading for the Bar, but at the somewhat mature age of 

 23, he entered Trinity College, Dublin (April, 1835), obtaining first 

 place at his Entrance, and proceeding regularly through the Arts 

 Course, he took his B.A. Degree in the Spring of 1839. During his 

 College days, his taste for Natural History studies developed, and he 

 determined to enter the Medical Profession. Entering the Medical 

 School of Trinity College, after he had graduated in Arts, he had 

 abundant leisure to proceed with his studies of Zoology and Botany, 

 independently of his studies in Medicine. His first important paper 

 on ** The Muscular System of Freshwater Ascidian Zoophytes " was 

 read, before the Academy in January, 1843, before he had taken his 

 first Degree in Medicine (-^s^. 1843), and was quickly followed by his 

 description of a new Genus and Species belonging to the same group 

 ( Cordylophora lacustrts), found by him in the Canal Harbour near 

 Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital.
