new standard w(3rk on British Mammals should have been 
entrusted, by common consent, to one who added to all his 
other high qualifications for the task that of having from 
his earliest years had his interest specially centred on the 
fauna of Ireland. From this point of view his loss is irre- 
parable. Whoever may be found to complete the work 
begun by Barrett-Hamilton, he cannot bring to the task 
the special knowledge Barrett -Hamilton possessed of the 
animal life and local legends and literature of this western 
island, and it is unnecessary to add that this is a loss not 
only to Ireland but to Europe at large.
