Abstract
MR. HERBERT WILLIAM ENGLAND, who died at the age of fifty-five years on October 30, had for nearly forty years been in charge of the departmental library of the Zoological Department of the British Museum (Natural History). Mr. England possessed an unrivalled knowledge of zoological literature and will be greatly missed by the many zoologists at whose disposal his knowledge and his ability in tracing obscure references were freely placed. He entered the Museum service as a boy attendant in February 1898 and attained the rank of higher grade technical assistant in 1932. Among his colleagues his kindly, helpful and generous character was well known, and the high regard in which he was held in the Museum is illustrated by the fact that he was one of the three recipients among the Museum staff of the King's Coronation Medal.
