Abstract
THE late C. G. Seligman and I were very old friends. We were born in the same year and met first at about the age of sixteen at the house of the late F. M. Halford, the greatest authority of his day on dry-fly fishing. We were both beginning to be interested in biology, and Halford was an enthusiast in microscopy, possessing a powerful binocular instrument with the then new oil-immersion lenses. We used to visit him on most Sunday afternoons; another of his young visitors being the late Edwin Montagu, afterwards Secretary of State for India and a successful promoter of sanctuaries for rare birds.
