106 IN MEMORIAM. 



made. Probably his chief interest lay in Marine Zoology, 

 in which study his son, Mr. Eric Sharp, was making his 

 mark, before leaving the Island for the more serious 

 work, in which he is now employed by the Admiralty, 

 of wireless telegraphy. Mr. Sharp's death, which was 

 quite unexpected, occurred on April 30th, 1914, after a 

 very short illness. He was one of those men who, quite 

 as much as the diligent workers in special fields of science, 

 help to keep a Society of local research alive and 

 prosperous. As Editorial Secretary we owe much to him 

 for the accuracy and excellent appearance of our annual 

 publication, Reports and Transactions. His loss is felt by 

 a Avide circle of friends and more especially by those 

 privileged to close connection with him in the Council 

 Meetings.
