Abstract
ZOOLOGY has lost a distinguished and devoted servant in the death of Frank Evers Beddard,which occurred at his home at Hampstead on July 14. He will be remembered best, perhaps, as the prosector of the Zoological Society: a post which he held for more than thirty years. He succeeded to great traditions, and worthily upheld them during his long term of office. Those who were privileged to listen to his discourses, at the scientific meetings of the Society, will ever remember his extraordinary facility of expression and the clear and rapid way in which he laid abstruse points before his audience. Few, probably, who were listen ing had ever made the dissections he was describing, yet so admirable was his presentation of the facts he had gleaned, that they could not fail to grasp the essentialpoints laid before them. He had no rival in this regard.
