and .... came to live in Sheffield." His professorship he had held since 

 1875. He married in 1859 and had one son and three daughters, losing his 

 wife ten years and his son one year before his own death. Two of his 

 daughters are married to members of his own profession, one to Dr. Charles 

 Atkin of Sheffield and another to Dr. E. S. Hubbersty of Sunderland, the third 

 remaining with her father to the close of his days. He died on Christmas 

 evening, 1921. Till the last year of what he himself described as his long 

 and happy life, he had never realised that he was old. Apart from science 

 his amusements had all been of a tranquil kind — gardening, photography, and 

 the game of bowls. A friend, who had been reading over many of his 

 writings, tells his daughter that : " Dominating all is the intense love he had 

 for nature, religion, and poetry." Another friend, who often walked with him, 

 tells her of the enjoyment derived from the humour, instruction, and high 

 tone of his conversation. A long correspondence is in harmony with these 

 touches of character. 



A letter from Sheffield, dated June, 1915, shows him at eighty- three, away 

 from necessary books, reluctant to undertake fresh work of importance, yet 

 unable to be disobliging. He explains that he had declined an invitation to 

 describe the Ostracoda and Copepoda collected by the Australasian Antarctic 

 Expedition, 1911-1914, under Sir Douglas Mawson, but that the material had 

 nevertheless been sent him, with further pressure. Now, the Scientific 

 Eecords of that Expedition show that in Series C the fifth volume contains 

 monographs on the Copepoda, the Cladocera, and Halocyprid.ee, by G. S. Brady. 

 A fine finish !
