Abstract
IT is impossible for me to write without a profound sense of personal loss on the death of the first of the new scientific friends whose acquaintance I made as a freshman at Cambridge in the Michaelmas term of 1880, and with whom I was closely associated during the next twenty-eight years. Shipley obtained a first class in the Natural Sciences Tripos of 1882 (Part 1) and 1884 (Part 2), and his scientific contemporaries included Adami, Bateson, Chree, Fitzpatrick, J. R. Green, Harker, Head, Sherrington, Thr elf all, and D'Arcy Thompson. In the interval between the two parts of his Tripos he had spent several months at the Zoological Station at Naples, the results of his studies being contained in his first scientific paper, on Brachio-poda (Argiope). He did not specially follow up this line of investigation in later years, but his continued interest in the subject is shown by the fact that he wrote articles on Brachiopoda for “The Cambridge Natural History” (1895) and the “Encyclopaedia Britannica” (1902).
