Rev. F. D. Morice: 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. Nature 118, 562-562 (16 October 1926) |
