48 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
A new fish has come to light. In the ‘ Kast London Dispatch’ the 
menu of the St. Andrew’s dinner, is thus reproduced :— Soup—Cockie 
Leekie and Clear. Fish—Scotch Haggis. 
WE regret to announce the death of Mr. Henry Stacy Marks, R.A., 
which occurred at his house near Regent’s Park on Sunday, Jan. 9th. He 
was born in London on Sept. 13th, 1829. His diploma picture, ‘“ Science 
is Measurement,” is one of his most characteristic paintings. It shows an 
old naturalist, himself almost a skeleton, measuring the skeleton of a huge 
‘bird, and combines the artist’s dry humour with his knowledge of bird 
anatomy. Every visitor to the Duke of Westminster's fine home at Katon 
Hall will remember the twelve panels of birds—gorgeous in colouring, 
accurate in drawing—which adorn that palatial residence. It was as a 
painter of curious and humorous bird-life that Mr. Stacy Marks was 
supreme. He studied the quarter of the birds at the “Zoo” with untiring — 
patience, and the result was to be seen in several Academy canvases and 
in more than one private exhibition of water-colour studies, remarkable for — 
dexterity of handling, colour, and humour. Mr. Marks’s favourite bird- 
sitter probably was the Adjutant Stork, but Flamingoes always found in 
him a congenial painter, and his Parrots, Cockatoos, and Macaws are very 
highly prized possessions of those collectors lucky enough to secure them.
