268 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



i The Times,' remarked that they were seeking a new man for 

 the post. Mr. Walter at once recommended Mr. Bartlett, and 

 he was immediately communicated with, and accepted the post, 

 which he held to the end of his life. 



It would be difficult, and beyond the limits of this Journal, 

 to give a detailed insight into the vast amount of work carried 

 out during the years from 1859 to the present day, which, we are 

 given to understand, will be compiled before long in a more 

 collected and chronological form. 



Mr. Bartlett was awarded the medal for taxidermy at the 

 1851 Exhibition, the bronze and silver medals of the Zoological 

 Society, and a very large series of the highest testimonials from 

 different societies and exhibitions. He also received the bronze 

 medal, conjointly with his eldest son Edward, at the 1872 

 Exhibition, and testimonials, with his sons Edward and Clarence, 

 at the Colonial Exhibition. 



During the years he passed in the Zoological Gardens he 

 became more closely connected with the scientific world, and 

 devoted his whole time and energy to the study of animal life, 

 which all those who knew him can testify. He was a man of 

 vast resource and quick perception, in many difficult cases was 

 always ready to help those around him out of their almost hope- 

 less position, kind to all classes of society, and at the same time 

 of a retiring nature, never wishing to force himself upon society.

 suggestions on the subjects of Mimicry in Butterflies and 

 Coloration of Caterpillars, and was elected an Honorary Fellow
