Annual Report of the Council. 



strator and Assistant Lecturer in Botany at the Owens 

 College, a post which he held up to the time of his death. 



Mr. Hick's critical faculty was as well developed as his 

 keen power of observation, as is evidenced by his published 

 papers, of which those on the continuity of protoplasm in 

 seaweeds and the more numerous notes on fossil plants are 

 his most important contributions to Botany. 



On the strength of his original investigations Mr. Hick 

 was elected an Associate to the Linnaean Society in 1894, 

 and he became a member of the Manchester Literary and 

 Philosophical Society in 1895. 



In Mr. Hick the science of Botany loses a thorough and 

 accurate worker, and his personal friends and acquaintances 

 miss a hearty and congenial companion.
