Abstract
IN the death on April 6 of Francis Hutchinson, New Zealand loses one more member of that distinguished band of naturalists who were the forerunners of present day scientific research in that country. He lived during the period which saw the transition from the pioneering work of Colenso, Haast, Hochstetter and others to the present age of specialists and research laboratories, and like his friend Guthrie-Smith (whose death was recently recorded in NATURE) most of his studies were made in the field.
