Yet while we lament the loss of the presence of this venerable founder of the Society at our meetings, we are consoled by the thought that his decease was not untimely, but that he "came to his gm;ve in fnll age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season," and after he had lived to see the Society attain a growth far beyond what he and his associates could have anticipated when he assisted in laying its foundations. ,JOIIN G.

Breed, and testifiedto his unabated interest in this Society, which he loved next to his church. He always mentioned the name of Col. ,vilder with the highest respect and regard. He built the first greenhouse and laid out the first flower garden in Lynn. He was a man of great enterprise, as is shown by the fact that he laid out thirty-five streets in Lynn. He met many changes, and some very serious ones, but always rallied from them, and was always ready to promote ever}: good work. Robert l\Ianning spoke of the gratification which J\Ir. Breed always felt in Yisiting the rooms of the Society and witnessing its prosperity, and of the pleasure with which he receiverl his calls. Only a few weeks before Mr. Breed's death he stopped in Lynn on bis way home, one Saturday afternoon, and gave him some flowers from the exhibition of that day, with which he was much pleased, and it was his intention to make a similar call on his eighty-nintli birthday, which would have been on the 21st of April, but he died a few clays before that time. The memorial was unanimously adopted, and it was voted that it be entered on the records, and that a copy be transwitted to the relatives of the deceased. Col. Henry ,v.

  • Karl Jordan: a Life in Systematics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of SciencePresented on July 21, 2003. Title: Karl Jordan: A Life in Systematics Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the modem evolutionary synthesis. These accounts, while useful, have primarily examined the natural history of the period in view of how it led to developments in the 193 Os and 40s, removing pre-Synthesis naturalists like Jordan from their research programs, institutional contexts, and disciplinary homes, for the sake of synthesis narratives. This dissertation redresses this picture by examining a naturalist, who, although often cited as important in the synthesis, is more accurately viewed as a man working on the problems of an earlier period. This study examines the specific problems that concerned Jordan, as well as the dynamic institutional, international, theoretical and methodological context of entomology and natural history during his lifetime. It focuses upon how the context in which natural history has been done changed greatly during Jordan's life time, and discusses the role of these changes in both placing naturalists on the defensive among an array of new disciplines and attitudes in science, and providing them with new tools and justifications for doing natural history. One of the primary intents of this study is to demonstrate the many different motives and conditions through which naturalists came to and worked in natural history.

In Search of Health, Freedom & Identity: An Analysis of Isabella Bird's and Margaret Fountaine's Renovation of Self through Travel & Travel Writing Abstract “An Analysis of Isabella Bird’s and Margaret Fountaine’s Renovation of Self through Travel & Travel Writing” tracks three interdependent facets of identity that become apparent in the travel literature of Victorian ladies Isabella Lucy Bird and Margaret Fountaine. These facets are: • the socialized self (the identity developed as a result of the society in which one grows up) • the renovated self (the identity developed through interacting with and adapting to other cultures ) • and the edited self (the identity one creates when she writes about her experiences—for my thesis specifically, the identity the author creates to reconcile her socialized and renovated selves) Bird’s and Fountaine’s identities developed very similarly, but modern scholars discuss these women in drastically different terms.

  • ( 240 ) OBITUARY. JOHN HENRY GURNEY. " the Old Order Changeth, Yielding Place to New," and Slowly but Surely Those Who May Be
    ( 240 ) OBITUARY. JOHN HENRY GURNEY. " THE old order changeth, yielding place to new," and slowly but surely those who may be. styled as belonging to the old school of ornithologists are dying out. Having been privileged to know not a few of these older naturalists, I may perhaps -be allowed to say that I have always been struck by their never failing courtesy and helpfulness as compared with the somewhat combative criticism of the younger generation. Possibly this opinion may be due to the veneration of youth for age but, be this as it may, it will be agreed on all hands that the outstanding characteristics of. the late John Henry Gurney were his humility and his kindness. John Henry Gurney came of a family which has been prominent for many generations in the public life of Norfolk where the Gurneys have long been noted for their philanthropy and integrity. His father [John Henry, 6. 1819, d. 1890] represented Lynn in Parliament in 1857 and 1859, and although recognized as a man of affairs was best known as an ornithologist: in his day he stood pre-eminent in his know­ ledge of the Accipitres and Striges and his collection of the Birds of Prey, now in the Norwich Castle Museum, was for a long time the finest out of London. John Henry the younger may be said to have been born an ornithologist; his father, 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 31st July, 1848, and was educated at Harrow School.

  • EDWARD WHITTALL (1851–1917) and HIS CONTRIBUTION to the ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW Alison and Martyn Rix
    Smyrna, from the sea, in around 1877. From George Maw, The Genus Crocus (1886). EDWARD WHITTALL (1851–1917) AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW Alison and Martyn Rix ‘Mr E. Whittall, a merchant of Smyrna, and an ardent lover of plants, has considerably enriched the Kew collection of bulbous plants. He is collecting systematically, and the results promise to be very successful. Already several new things contributed to the herbarium have come to light, amongst them Galanthus ikariae, Tulipa concinna and Fritillaria whittallii.’ [From Kew Bull. Anon. 1893]: Edward Whittall was one of a large family of English merchants based in Turkey. In 1782 his grandfather, Charlton, had left Liver- pool for the flourishing Turkish port of Smyrna, now Izmir, and after a few years, he set up his own trading company, C. Whittall & Co, Curtis’s Botanical Magazine 2011 vol. 28 (3): pp. 213–230 © The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 2011. 213 which became a member of the British Levant Company; according to the last chaplain of the Company, this was: ‘...the most valuable body of merchants perhaps in the world: there were at one time 800 members, and they had a fleet of twenty four large vessels carrying thirty guns each, trading in different ports of the Turkish dominions...’ The Whittall company’s main trade was in exporting various Turk- ish products, including dye roots, dried fruits, cotton and valonea (for tanning) to England. In 1817 Charlton’s brother James came out to join him in the business. Both brothers married and had many children, but only two sons apiece each confusingly called Charlton and James.

Skizzen aus dem abenteuerlichen Leben einer viktorianischen Schmetterlingsjägerin Mit 2 Figuren Jürgen Eckl 1 1 Hölderlinstr. 9, 65549 Limburg, Germany. – [email protected] Published on 2013-12-20 Zusammenfassung Biographisches Essay über die britische Entomologin Margaret Fountaine auf Grundlage ihrer tagebuchförmigen Notate, die erst 38 Jahre nach ihrem Tod auf Trinidad im Jahre 1940 der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich wurden. Ihre Her- kunft aus der nordostenglischen Provinz in einem viktorianischen Pastorenhaushalt ließen nicht unbedingt erwarten, dass aus einer Liebhaberei eine lebenslange Berufung zur Entomologie werden sollte. Sie erfuhr Förderung durch den Großsammler Henry John Elwes. Durch Erbschaften finanziell einigermaßen unabhängig, unternimmt sie aus- gedehnte Exkursionen in Südeuropa, dem Nahen Osten und Nordafrika, schließlich ausgedehnte Sammlungsreisen in alle Erdteile im Auftrag vor allem britischer und amerikanischer Museen und Sammler. Der syrische Christ Khalil Neimy, 15 Jahre jünger als sie, wurde 1901 ihr ständiger Begleiter als Schmetterlingsfänger und bis zu seinem frühen Tod 1929 auch ihr Lebensgefährte. Sie war seit 1898 Mitglied der Royal Entomological Society (ggr. 1833) und wurde 1912 in die Linnean Society of London (ggr. 1788) aufgenommen. Nach ihrem Tod hinterließ sie dem Schloßmuseum von Norwich ihre eigene Sammlung von 22.000 Tagfaltern.
