Abstract
WE regret to report the death of Mr. C. F. T. HADRILL, clerk in the General Library of the British Museum (Natural History). Seized on January 12 with influenza while on his way home from the Museum, he succumbed to its effects within four days, on the evening of January 16. Mr. Hadrill first took service with the Trustees in the Copyright Office at the British Museum, Blooms-bury, in 1888. Thence he was transferred to the General Library at the South Kensington division of the Museum in 1895. Save for the period of his war service (1915 to 1919), he held his position continuously up to the day of his death. Thoroughly interested in his work, in which he took great pride, he was intimately acquainted with the books under his charge, as all who came into contact with him, whether Museum officials, or students, or casual visitors, soon realised; and his services, always most willingly, obligingly, and efficiently rendered, were consequently in perpetual demand. His loss will be felt as a personal one by a large circle of scientific workers, including those connected with the “Zoological Record,” for which he was one of the researchers.
