For the last twenty years of his life he led a quiet life 
in the old family house at Northrepps, near Cromer. Though 
his bodily strength gradually failed, he was only seriously ill 
for a few days before he calmly passed away on April 20, 
1890 .

Gurney (John Henry, [Jun.]), not. 1848 
Mr. Gurney, of Keswick Hall, Norwich, and the Athenaeum 
Club, London, may be said to have been born an ornithologist, 
his father, John Henry Gurney, Senior, the subject of the 
preceding notice, as may well be supposed, having made him 
familiar with birds, both living and dead, from his infancy. 
He was born at Easton Lodge, near Norwich, on July 31 , 1848 , 
and was educated at Harrow School. He has all his life 
fostered and continued those aims and objects which his 
father had so much at heart, particularly the Norwich 
Museum collection of Raptorial Birds and the Norfolk and 
Norwich Naturalists’ Society (founded in 1869 ), of which 
he has been President three times, viz. in 1881 , 1888 , and 
1898 . He has been a member of the B.O.U. since 1870 , 
and is also a Fellow of the Zoological Society. His con- 
tributions to these societies’ publications and to the ornitho- 
logical journals are of very great extent during the past 
forty-five years.
