  THE 
  ZOOLOGIST. 
  

  

  spirit 
  of 
  that 
  excellent 
  publication, 
  which 
  he 
  directed 
  with 
  an 
  

   intense 
  sense 
  of 
  responsibility, 
  as 
  was 
  observed 
  in; 
  all 
  his 
  other 
  

   undertakings. 
  Although 
  perhaps 
  not 
  a 
  brilliant 
  man, 
  he 
  was 
  a 
  

   learned 
  entomologist, 
  and 
  without 
  doubt 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  

   capable 
  all-round 
  entomologists 
  since 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  Prof. 
  West- 
  

   wood. 
  He 
  possessed 
  a 
  retentive 
  memory, 
  and 
  his 
  knowledge 
  

   of 
  entomological 
  writings 
  was 
  profound 
  ; 
  in 
  fact, 
  one 
  often 
  

   thought 
  that 
  he 
  must 
  have 
  read 
  every 
  entomological 
  paper 
  as 
  it 
  

   appeared, 
  and 
  thus 
  have 
  had 
  little 
  time 
  for 
  perusing 
  other 
  topics. 
  

   As 
  an 
  author, 
  he 
  will 
  be 
  remembered 
  by 
  his 
  ' 
  Monographic 
  Re- 
  

   vision 
  and 
  Synopsis 
  of 
  the 
  Trichoptera 
  of 
  the 
  European 
  Fauna,' 
  

   and 
  he 
  recently 
  contributed 
  a 
  few 
  ornithological 
  notes 
  to 
  ' 
  The 
  

   Zoologist.' 
  

  

  With 
  Robert 
  McLachlan 
  a 
  very 
  distinct 
  personality 
  has 
  passed 
  

   away. 
  If 
  he 
  did 
  not 
  always 
  make 
  friends, 
  those 
  who 
  knew 
  him 
  

   intimatelv 
  held 
  him 
  in 
  high 
  regard.
