House Notes

death noted in report of the council for 1895
Brabrook's Presidential Address 1896: Mr. Henry Seebohm's only contribution to our Proceedings was the communication of some particulars respecting the native races of Arctic Siberia, which he made in 1879, on his return from that country. Then (and I think on other occasions) he exhibited objects from his collection; but I am sorry to find that he did not reduce his observations to writing, and that accordingly a bare record of the fact is to be found in our Journal. He was, however, for some years a member of the Council, and a useful referee on papers and other matters within his special knowledge. As Secretary to the Royal Geographical Society, and in other capacities, he laboured hard for science
