162 IN MEMORIAM : J. R. DAKYNS, M.A. 
into sunny tolerance and gentle reprimand, and the lesson \\as 
the more memorable from its vigorousness. His dislike for any 
inaccuracy of statement was intense, and the pains he constantly 
took to convey the exact impression of what was in his mind 
could not fail to have its influence upon any companion. The 
sincerity and earnestness of his mental attitude was such that 
no one, and especially no j'Oung man, could have the privilege of 
his friendship without benefitting greatly thereby ; and I well 
know that it was not in my own case alone that this benefit was 
felt and acknowledged. The full measure of his service to Science 
is not comprised within the limits of his personal achievement ; 
his influence remains among us in many quarters ; and he has 
left a lasting memory in the hearts of his friends.
