1873.02.04 The resignation of his Honorary Membership was received from Dr Carter Blake and accepted
Brabrook's presidential address 1898: The recent announcement of the death of Dr. Charles Carter Blake carries our memory back to the early days of the Anthropological Society, of which he and our colleague, Mr. J. F. Collingwood, were the first Honorary Secretaries. He was a pupil and assistant of Sir Richard Owen, who had a high opinion of his qualifications, and contributed a Preface to his " Zoology for Students." His accomplishments as a craniologist and his skill as a debater are testified by many entries in our early records, and it is a regret to us all that the great promise he held forth of a distinguished career should have been clouded over by illness and misfortune in his later days.
