Testimonial to Dr. James Murie.
An opinion having been expressed that it might not be inappropriate to present Dr. James Murie, formerly Prosector to the Zoological Society of London, with a substantial recognition of the services which he has rendered to science by his numerous memoirs printed in the Proceedings and Transactions of the Zoological Society and other scientific journals, we, the undersigned, have pleasure in acquiescing in that opinion, and in stating our belief that Dr. Murie’s career has been a most meritorious one, very beneficial to science, and highly honourable to himself.
The Viscount Walden,2 F.R.S. (President of the Zoological Society of London).
