Memoritam—Henry Bendelack Hewetson. 239 
His notes, too, sent from time to time, to the writer, on the 
migration of insects, were of great and marvellous interest. 
A cetacean of any sort, a seal, or any rare and curious fish or 
marine object cast up by the sea was certain to receive attention, 
photographed and described ; nothing being overlooked or con- 
sidered valueless or unimportant. No man was more capable 
of inditing the chronicles of a sea-side village. 
During all the useful and busy period of his medical career 
in Leeds he found time for foreign travel, and in the course of 
years made two visits to Egypt, two to Morocco, also to Algiers 
and the Sahara. He had also spent holidays in the south of 
France and Italy, the Canaries and Cape de Verde Islands, and 
shorter visits to Norway, Sweden, and Hol .*. His last 
holiday, of any extent, was made under failing heatth to South 
America. 
In all the places he visited he was unwearied in collecting 
and bringing home objects of interest, amongst these a large 
dollectibn: of bird skins from Northern Africa. Recently he 
presented a valuable collection of Egyptian antiquities to the 
Museum of the Philosophical Society of Leeds; also a fair col- 
lection of orchids from South America to the Hull Park gardens. 
During these travels he also took hundreds of views with 
on 18th October 1896, pictures which were afterwards exhibited 
at Leeds.

eaker ; we were never more struck by this than when listening 
to his excellent remarks after our reading of Mr. Wm. Eagle 
Clarke’s Report on Migration in the theatre of the Victoria 
University at the meeting of the British Association at Liverpool. 
His language was always good, and his ideas clearly and con- 
cisely expressed. 
Mr. Hewetson was a Fellow of the Linnean Society and 
also of the Zoological Society, and more recently a Fellow of 
the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the British 
Ornithologists’ Union, besides several local societies. 
s a personal friend and a regular correspondent of more 
than twenty years, we are in a position to speak highly of his 
abilities and the versatility of his genius. His fault, if any,
