Of the t^^pe-forms of the fossils referred to, an important list 

 Avas published b}^ Mr. Leney in the ' Geological Magazine ' for 

 1902, in tlie introduction to which Dr. Henry Woodward alludes 

 to Keeve in the following words : — 



' It speaks volumes in praise of the Curator that so larg-e and varied a 

 series of type- specimens should have been preserved intact for 50 years or 

 more, and have survived a removal from the old Museum building's in 

 St. Andrews Street to their present home in Norwich Castle, during all that 

 long period under the care of one man, their excellent Curator, Mr. James 

 Reeve.' • 



This testimonial, from so distinguished an expert, will be endorsed 

 by all those who have w^atched Reeve's career for many years. 



He will be best known, however, for his interest in art, and for 

 his intimate and critical knowledge of the works of the Norwich 

 School of Painting, as to wdiich he was a Avidely-recognized 

 authority. He made important collections of Norwich paintings 

 for others as well as for himself ; some of those are now in the 

 National Gallery, while others have been left by will to the 

 Museum to w^hich his life was devoted. He became a Fellow of 

 the Geological Society in 1901, and died on December 19th, 1920.
