in his native city, especially the Royal Infirmary, in which, by the 
way, he had served for many years as surgeon and physician, and in 
which he introduced many improvements. 
Down to the period of his last fatal attack of typhoid fever, by 
which he was cut off on the 2d of October 1879 after a brief illness, 
Dr Fleming continued to perform with wonted energy and ability 
his duties, professional and otherwise, and may truly he said to have 
died in harness. His loss was greatly regretted by a large circle of 
patients, by whom he was regarded with esteem and affection, and 
by the public of Glasgow generally. In conclusion, it may be truly 
said that the history of Dr Fleming is that of a career modest and 
uneventful, but useful, honourable, and successful to the last. 
Arthur Hay, Marquis of Tweeddale. 
By Robert Gray, Esq. 
Arthur Hay, 9th Marquis of Tweeddale, F.R.S., and president 
of the Zoological Society of London, was born on the 9th November 
1824. He was the second son of his father, the 8th Marquis, 
who was a distinguished soldier, and the first agriculturalist of 
his time. Having in his eighteenth year obtained a commission 
in the Grenadier Guards, Lord Arthur Hay, as he was then called, 
on attaining the rank of Captain about a year afterwards, went 
out to India as A.D.C. to his father, who was Commander-in-Chief 
at Madras. At the end of a few years service in this capacity he 
was appointed A.D.C. to the Governor-General Lord Hardinge, and 
served under him in the Sutlej campaign of 1845-46. He was pre- 
sent at the decisive battle of Sobraon, and on the conclusion of 
the Treaty, by which the British became possessors of the hill terri- 
tory west of the Sutlej and Cashmere, he, with several of his brother 
officers, visited this part of the Himalayas — a journey which afforded 
him ample opportunities for prosecuting his favourite study, and 
making a large collection of the birds of the country. 
During his residence in India, Lord Arthur Hay formed the 
acquaintance of the late Dr Jerdon, a distinguished Eastern natural- 
ist, who was in the early part of his life Assistant-Surgeon at Fort 
St George. Subsequently he was on terms of intimacy with other 
eminent naturalists ; but he does not appear to have published more
