Of Me. John W. Elton no further information can here he given

Dawson Turner, F.R.S., E.S.A., was born at Yarmouth, in 
1775, and became a partner in the branch of Messrs. Gurneys’ 
bank in that town. An accomplished scholar, archaeologist, 
and topographer, he was also a distinguished botanist, and, as the 
letters now published shew, was always ready to aid the investiga- 
tions of workers in other branches of science. He was one of 
the earliest Presidents of the Norfolk and Norwich Museum in 
which he was much interested. Mr. Turner, by his wife, 
Mary Palgrave, had two sons and six daughters, and through the 
artistic talents of the latter was largely assisted in the illustration 
of his various publications. Of these, two only survive, the wife 
of Dr. Jacobson, the present Bishop of Chester, and the widow of 
the late Mr. Brightwen, of Yarmouth. Of the rest, one was married 
to Sir W. J. Hooker, hither of Sir J. D. Hooker, P.R.S. ; another 
to Sir F. Palgrave ; a third to John Gunn, Esq., F.G.S., whose magni- 
ficent collection of fossil mammalian remains, from the Norfolk coast, 
was recently presented by him to the Norwich Museum ; and one 
died unmarried. Two of his grandsons are Mr. Gilford Palgrave, 
the celebrated traveller and Mr. Francis Palgrave, the well- 
known writer on literature and art. Mr. Dawson Turner died 
at Yarmouth in 1857. His illustrated copy of Blomfield’s Iiistonj 
of Norfolk, forming seventy volumes and cases, was purchased at 
his death by the British Museum, and may be considered to be the 
finest county history in existence. 
Richard Lubbock, the well-known author of the Fauna of 
Norfolk, was born in Norwich, in 1798, the eldest (and last 
survivor) of the eight children of Richard Lubbock, M.D., an 
eminent physician of that city. Intended for the church, he 
graduated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and was ordained in 
1825. His early taste for natural history, and ornithology in 
particular, was fostered by his clerical duties for some years 
associating him with the “Broad district” of the county, and his 
ample opportunities for sport with rod and gun, gave him that
