Abstract
LIVERPOOL has lost a well-known naturalist in the death of Mr. I. C. Thompson, who was hon. treasurer of the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee from its foundation nearly twenty years ago. He had a wide knowledge of the Crustacea, and, especially of Copepoda, the group upon which most of his original work was done, but he was also a keen field-naturalist, interested in the lives and habits of his animals, and preferring to catch the specimens himself and to examine them in the first place alive. He was always a prominent member of the party during the dredging expeditions in the Irish Sea and at the Port Erin Biological Station. Little more than a month before his death he was one of the leaders in the British Association dredging excursion which followed the Southport meeting.
