He is also an original member of the London Mathema- tical Society, having been one of those who helped to establish it. In 1860 he was Modei*ator, and in 1861 Examiner, for the Mathema- tical Tripos at Cambridge. In 1864 he married the eldest daughter of Sir G. B. Airy, the late Astro- nomer-Royal. In 1867 he gained the Adams Prize for his essay on the Stability of Motion. The hono- rary degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him in 1879 by the University of Glasgow. He was elected an honorary FeUow of Peterhouse Nov. 6, 1883.
