As a naturalist, he showed a real passion for collecting all sorts of specimens and in preserving, classifying, and cataloguing them. This work was always carried out with a great regard for permanence. He selected always the correct container for the specimen, unfading ink, and paper of lasting quality. The catalogues of his various collections have several hundreds or, in the case of ticks, thousands of entries in his own handwriting, giving the complete history of specimens to which they refer. In his journal, with equal meticulousness, Nuttall recounted his daily experiences, conversations, trips to various meetings, and interesting visitors to his laboratory and home.

In addition to his scientific attainments, Nuttall read widely on a variety of subjects and spoke with expertise on such topics as heraldry and gardening. He was also an excellent draftsman with a great interest in art. In 1904, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, at the same time as his friend A. E. Shipley, and the year 1906 was one of the most important of his life as shown by the following journal entry.

"July 20 admitted to a Junior Fellowship at Christ's College. October 16 elected Quick Professor of Biology at Cambridge, and duly admitted on the 19th by the Vice-Chancellor (Mr. Roberts of Caius) at the Lodge and on the same day went to Brighton to see Mother - back to C. 24th. 24 May proceeded to the degree of Dr. of Science (Cambridge). November 20 dined with Prof. Newton, F.R.S., at Magdalene College after having at 11 a.m. been one of a deputation which was presented to the King of Norway at Buckingham Palace on behalf of the Royal Institute of Public Health.

"This was a most eventful year. Following upon the San Francisco disaster which for some time we thought might end in the loss of our fortune, things began to look up and in the end the fireinsurance companies paid all that was due, less 5% for cash payment rec'd within a year of the disaster.

"It was a great satisfaction to be admitted a Fellow at Christ's for I felt that I had at last got into 'the inner circle.' Soon after, I was made Reader in Hygiene, the Lectureship in Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine, previously held being allowed to lapse. Curiously enough I only held this post for 4 days. before I was elected to the newly established Quick chair when, in turn, the Readership lapsed, for both the Lectureship and Readership had been personal appointments. When the Readership was established, there had been no thought of my going in for the Professorship, for the conditions under which the latter was to be held had not as yet been determined. However, as time went on, it was decided that the holder of the chair should devote himself to the 'study of the protozoa, especially in relation to disease,' and this being the case I made an application for the post. The decision as to who should be the first holder of the chair was arrived at with some difficulty and a good deal of heart burning. My friends rallied nobly to the charge and I was elected. It is just as well to forget the disagreeable aspects of the campaign for it ended in Victory for me. In my printed application with the friend much matter relating to this event, so important for me & mine for it put me 'upon my legs' again after the San Francisco disaster which strained our finances badly, my income from that source having been cut off for upwards. of a year."

Nuttall received honorary degrees from the Universities of California, Strasburg, Egypt, South Africa, and Liège and was elected corresponding member of many scientific societies. He received also the Belgian Order of Leopold II and the

French Order of Commandeur de la Légion d'Honneur.

From

On the afternoon of December 16, 1937, Nuttall rushed from Cambridge to London to attend an autograph party at Foyles Bookstore for his son, George, who had coauthored a book with H. M. Hyde on air defense and the civil population. there he dashed off to an art gallery where the portraits of Philip Alexius Laszlo de Lombos were on display, including one of Nuttall painted in 1932 (see frontispiece). From there he went immediately to the Craven Hotel in Charing Cross where he suffered a fatal heart attack. Unfortunately, it was on the eve of a dinner in his honor to be given by 60 colleagues upon his retirement from his long and successful editorship of the "Journal of Hygiene."

all instances, Nuttall cited a given collection as follows:

N3077 Aponomma trimaculatum 's, N's Ti) ♂ S (ii) N's

I have eliminated the redundant use of (i) and (ii). With these exceptions and a few minor corrections, all data appearing in the left-hand column are as they appeared in the original version of Nuttall's catalogue.

In his catalogue, Nuttall arranged collection data in seven general categories for each entry as follows: (1) Nuttall number, (2) tick determination, (3) host, (4) locality, (5) date, (6) collector, and (7) remarks. Entry (1) is always present and (2) is rarely absent. The remaining categories are usually included.

In the updated catalogue column, I have added to category (1) a Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) number. This number will allow these records to be added into the SELGEM (the acronym derived from SELF-GEnerating Master) information retrieval system of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. This is a generalized system for information storage, management, and retrieval especially suited for collection management in museums. Often Nuttall neglected to list the number of specimens in a collection. I have added this information to the tick determi– nation using the standard characters: = male, female, N = nymph, and L = larva. Host data are indicated by current species designation whenever possible. Common names are used when applicable or when no other choice is available. Specific localities are given coordinates whenever possible, but where the localities are large areas (viz Queensland, Australia; South Africa), no coordinates are given. I have used the more readily recognizable names of localities rather than the less common, albeit more correct, names. example, I have used Algiers instead of Alger and Cairo instead of Al-Qahirah.
