Abstract
THE Rev. Francis David Morice, well known as an authority on certain families of Hymenoptera, died at Woking in his seventy-eighth year, on September 23. Educated at Winchester, from which he passed in 1866 to New College, Oxford, he gained high distinction as a classical scholar, and in 1874 was appointed a master at Rugby under Dr. Jex-Blake. Here he remained for twenty years, retiring ultimately in 1894 to Woking, where he took a house next to his great friend Edward Saunders, and devoted himself to entomological research.
