IN MEMORIAM—T. J. MOORE, 53 
bodily sustenance, and I have repeatedly been with him working in 
the museum until the small hours of the morning. This, no doubt, 
had its effect on his health in due course, or we should not have 
lost, before even he had reached the years of threescore and ten, a 
man of his vigorous constitution. He had a wide and deep general 
knowledge of the animal kingdom, but was in no sense a specialist, 
though probably as a result of his training and vocation he was more 
intimately acquainted with the mammalia than any other class of 
animals. With a museum covering such a wide range as the 
Liverpool Museum it would have been thought that specially trained 
assistants were necessary, but this he never had, preferring rather to 
take youths into his service to learn their work with 
In one respect, however, most valuable aid was given him aid 
help that he was always most anxious should be fully recognised. 
This was by the Rev. H. H. Higgins, M.A., who for more than 
thirty years has given his spare time and labour ungrudgingly, and 
one might almost say lovingly, to the work of arranging, illustrating 
and describing the series of invertebrates which fill the twenty table 
cases that occupy the floors of the upper rooms of the museum, 
besides in many other ways interesting himself in the welfare of the 
museum. Mr. Moore was always ready to assist in any and every 
way students and scientists who wished to make use of the Liverpool 
Museum, but he had not, unfortunately, the pen of a ready writer, 
so that his contributions to literature are but scanty. But many 
notes of high scientific value were contributed by him to the 
Literary and Philosophical Society’s Proceedings and other local 
publications. In one of these, on the Rocky Mountain Goat, 
I have already referred, and next in importance to this was a paper 
on Hybrids among Pheasants, also published in the Literary 
and Philosophical Society’s Proceedings. He was for some time 
President of the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee, and 
published in their Report for 1889 an account of the Seals and 
Whales of the Liverpool District. In the earlier days of the 
museum the naturalists of Liverpool published a Naturalists’ Scrap 
Book, to which Mr. Moore was a frequent contributor, and recorded 
the occurrence of several species new to the district, including 
vis); Opah or King Fish npg guttatus) ; Short Sun Fish 
ene aie las. Angel Fish (Sguatina angelus); Zledone 
cirrhosus; Portunus arcuatus ; Argulus foliaceus; Pherusa mullert, 
and seta others. His name has been given to two species, 
Delphinus moorit, described and —- by Dr. J. E. Gray in 
Veh. sins. 1893.
