OBITUARY. 
Mr. T. W. Naylor Beckett, whom many of our readers have occasion to 
remember gratefully for his excellently prepared New Zealand mosses, died 
December 5, 1906, at his country seat near Fendalton, Christchurch, New 
Zealand, at the age of 68. He contracted influenza and despite every effort 
it developed into pneumonia. One of his sons writes under date of Decem- 
ber 20, 1907: “I must ask your apologies for not writing sooner. Several 
months elapsed after his death settling hi^ private affairs, and owing to the 
fact that I do not live at home, I have had no opportunity until recently of 
going through his moss correspondence which has been handed over to me 
by my brother. I regret that my brother and I are not sufficiently expert to 
carry on our father’s work. He was a most industrious and enthusiastic 
worker and was never happier than when in his study surrounded bv his 
mosses. At present his herbarium is just as he left it, but I hope that some 
day it may find a resting place in the Canterbury Museum, and so be of bene- 
fit to future botanists.”
