1918.] IN MEMORIAM. 85 



in 1901. This great work is a living monument to Mr. 

 Marquand's life's work ; it is and must remain the standard 

 work on the botany of Guernsey and the neighbouring islands 

 and islets. 



I have referred incidentally to Mr. Marquand's contri- 

 butions to the Transactions of the Penzance Natural History 

 Society. Both as writer and lecturer the deceased had a 

 particularly pleasing style — a style that fascinated — for he 

 had the gift of being able to make what to many are dull 

 subjects, attractive. He was President of our Society in 

 1893 and 1894, previous to which, and for years afterwards, 

 he contributed papers on Natural History subjects to the 

 pages of its Transactions, a list of which papers is given at 

 the end of this Memoir. 



In April, 1896, Mr. Marquand was married at St. 

 Martin's Church, Guernsey, to Miss G. E. Boley, daughter 

 of the late John Baker Boley, -M.D., of Ealing, Middlesex, 

 and niece of the late Richard Boley, M.D., for a long while 

 in practice at St. Martin's. During the early years of his 

 married life (spent at Richmond, Surrey) Mr. Marquand was 

 for some time engaged on work at the Kew Herbarium, as 

 also at the Linnean Society ; and then in the Spring of 1899, 

 with Mrs. Marquand and their baby son, he returned to the 

 Channel Islands, this time taking up residence in Alderney to 

 which he was attracted by the peaceful quietude and salu- 

 brious air of the little island. 



Here the family lived for four years, after which, on 

 account of their son's education, several years were again 

 spent in Guernsey and Mr. Marquand had the pleasure — a 

 pleasure shared in equal measure by the members — of once 

 more associating himself intimately with this Society and its 

 work. During this last residence in Guernsey, which conti- 

 nued up to the Spring of 1910, when a move was made to 

 Paris, Mr. Marquand was engaged by the Guille-AUes 

 Library authorities on special work in the Natural History 

 Museum connected with that Institution, where for nearly 

 three years (1903-1906) he worked actively at the naming of 

 the specimens and the re-arrangement of the collections gene- 

 rally — work in which he delighted and for which he was 

 eminently adapted. 



It should be mentioned that Mr. Marquand was one of 

 the oldest members of the Conchological Society of Great 

 Britain, having been elected a member as far back as 1885, 

 and several contributions from his pen will be found in the 

 Society's Proceeding's, The first Bronze medal of the Royal
