REGINALD INNES POCOCK

1863-1947

Reginald Innes Pocock was born at Clifton, Bristol, on 4 March 1863, and was the fourth son of the Rev. Nicholas Pocock and Edith, daughter of James Cowles Prichard, F.R.S., the ethnologist. After attending a preparatory school in Clifton, he was sent to St Edward’s School, Oxford, where his education was chiefly on classical lines, but where, nevertheless, he began to show a liking for natural history. He was fortunate in receiving special tuition in zoology from the late Sir Edward Poulton and was allowed to study comparative anatomy at the Oxford Museum. When he left St Edward’s his parents decided to let him adopt a scientific career and he became a pupil at Frank Townsend’s School at Clifton and attended the biological and geological courses at Univer­sity College, Bristol, under Professor Lloyd Morgan and Professor Sollas. In 1885 he obtained by competitive examination an Assistantship on the staff of the Zoological Department of the British Museum where, after working for a year in the Section of Entomology, he was placed in charge of the Collections of Arachnida and Myriopoda by Dr Albert Gunther who was then keeper. His first task, however, was to arrange the British Birds in the Public Gallery and this experience, which he was quick to supplement by knowledge gained in the field, gave him a lasting interest in ornithology and a fairly complete acquaintance with our native birds.

From the first Pocock evinced great aptitude for the work required of him as curator of a museum collection and it proved a wise decision to put him in charge of two comparatively neglected groups of invertebrates. He worked enthusi­astically at the collections in the museum and his enormous output of scientific papers (more than two hundred during the eighteen years he held his assistant- ship) soon made him a recognized authority on Arachnida and Myriopoda. As a result the Museum collections were enriched by hundreds of specimens, and, during his curatorship grew to be the most extensive and valuable series of these groups in the world. Among his scientific writings during this period special mention may be made of the volume on Arachnida in the Fauna of British India, and on Chilopoda and Diplopoda in Godman and Salvin’s Biologia Centrali-Americana.Other important faunistic papers include thoseon the Chilopoda and Diplopoda of Liguria and Burma, published in the Annali del Museo Civilo di Genoa, and of the Malay Archipelago in Max Weber’s Zoologische Ergebnisse einer Reise in Niederlandisch Ost-Indien. He also contributed articles on various groups of invertebrates to natural histories, popular scientific journals and the Encyclopaedia He

In 1897 Pocock wrote his first paper on mammals, entitled ‘The species and subspecies of zebras’, and shortly afterwards, owing to the temporary indis­position of Oldfield Thomas, his colleague at the Natural History Museum, he was asked to write, in conjunction with Dr P. L. Sclater, the last three parts of Sclater and Thomas’s Book of antelopes. This gave him a useful insight into the literature of Mammalia and awakened a genuine interest in the higher animals which was stimulated by a trip he made to the Balearic Islands with Oldfield Thomas to collect small mammals, Arachnida and Myriopoda. A paper in 1900 on three new forms of Tragelaphus was followed in 1902 by ‘A new arrangement of the existing species of Equidae’ and several contributions on mammals from his pen appeared in Nature during the early years of the twentieth century.

At length Pocock realized where the true interest of his zoological work lay, and determined if possible to forsake the invertebrates and devote his life to the study of Mammalia. In 1903 the Superintendentship of the Zoological Gardens at Regent’s Park became vacant, and, as there was no prospect of an opening in the Mammal Department of the Natural History Museum, he decided to apply for this post. For some years he had been a Fellow of the Zoological Society and was then serving on its Publication, Finance and Zoological Record Com­mittees. He was chosen for the vacancy and, to the great regret of his colleagues, resigned his Assistantship at the Natural History Museum to take up his new duties in January 1904. He held this appointment until March 1923.

His official position at the Museum brought him into contact with men and women of various grades of society and of many nationalities. It also entailed the preparation of official reports and recommendations; and involved business relations with dealers, printers, artists, etc., to settle prices of specimens, arrange work to be done and check bills; while periodical superintendence of carpenters, labourers and attendants gave him experience in the management of men in a subordinate position. Hence he was well qualified to carry out the administrative side of his new duties and from the first took an. active part in the betterment of the conditions of the animals in the menagerie and in the general improvement and development of the Zoological Gardens. During his youth he was a constant visitor to the Zoological Gardens at Clifton where he studied the methods adopted for keeping and breeding animals and, beginning, as a small boy, with tame rats and mice, he had himself at various times kept and studied the habits of lizards, snakes, tortoises, small birds and British mammals. Such experience proved of considerable value to him and enabled him to master this side of his duties.

Whilst at the Zoo, where he occupied the old Curator’s house, he was able to observe the habits of the living animals and he found time in the evenings and at week-ends, which he often spent in the Prosectorium, to pursue his studies on those which died. Taking the Natural History Museum as a pattern,

he began to build up a carefully labelled collection of skins with the skulls attached and his earlier writings dealt chiefly with these as classificatory characters. During the latter part of his nineteen years at the Zoological Gardens, however, he began to appreciate the value of external characters such as the feet and ears for purposes of classification and most of his later papers were concerned with these and similar structures and with the external glands. He was, in fact, the pioneer among mammalogists in making use of such characters.

In 1907 Pocock collaborated with Chalmers Mitchell in conducting a series of experiments on the feeding of reptiles in captivity. Some interesting results were achieved and published in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for that year. Just previously he had written two relatively important papers, ‘On the genus Cercocebus, with a key to the known species’ and ‘A monographic revision of the monkeys of the genus Cercopithecus’. His next outstanding paper, and also the longest he wrote during his career, was ‘On the specialized cutaneous glands of ruminants’. Published in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1910; it did much to secure for him in the following year the only reward for his work that he ever coveted, the Fellowship of the Royal Society.

During the first six years at the Zoological Gardens he did not entirely forsake invertebrate zoology. A paper, ‘Mimicry in spiders’ appeared in the Journal of the Linnean Society for 1909 and ‘A monograph of the terrestrial carboniferous Arachnida of Great Britain’ was published by the Palaeonto- graphical Society in 1910. In 1911 he made a series of experiments on mimicry in insects and their palatability to birds, the results of which appeared in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for that year. Soon afterwards he wrote an important paper on warning characteristics in carnivorous and insectivorous mammals, a subject in which he was much interested.

The groups of mammals on which Pocock chiefly worked were the Ungulata Carnivora and Primates and his reputation as one of the leading mammalogists of his time probably originated from the series of papers on Carnivora which he began in 1914 and continued to write up to within a few years of his death. Most of these concerned external characters and were written throughout the First World War, during which time he produced nearly thirty papers. The most important were ‘The classification of existing Felidae’ and ‘The classi­fication of the mongooses’. During 1918, however, he wrote seven papers on the external characters of ruminant Artiodactyla and an important article on the external characters of the lemurs and Tarsius, followed two years later by one on the external characters of the South American monkeys.

In 1921 he classified the Procyonidae and Mustelidae and then for a short time turned his attention to the Rodentia and Edentata, writing several papers, the most important of which were ‘The Classification of the Sciuridae’ and 1 he external characters of the South American Edentates’. 4 he year 1925 saw the publication of ‘The external characters of the catarrhine monkeys and apes’ and the following year a paper on the external characters of marsupials.

Meanwhile in 1923, on reaching the age of sixty and to the general regret of all with whom he had been associated, Pocock expressed his wish to retire

from his position as Superintendent of the Zoological Gardens in order to devote the remainder of his life to studying his favourite groups of mammals. He could look back with satisfaction on the unobtrusive part which he had played in the steady improvement of the Gardens during his years of office and even more on the result of his scientific labours in increasing the status of the Zoological Society as a research institution. He returned to the Natural History Museum as a ‘temporary scientific worker’ and for the rest of his long life worked assiduously to complete as much work as possible. It happened that the first series of collections he worked out were from India and thus it came about that he began to contribute papers regularly to the Journal of the Bombay Natural History S o c i e t y ,as well as to the Proceedings of the Zoological and the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, as heretofore. Of these numerous and varied contributions he himself attached especial importance to four early ones ‘The langurs or leaf monkeys of British India’, ‘The panthers and ounces of Asia’, ‘The lions of Asia’ and ‘The civet-cats of Asia’ and to a series of four papers comprising ‘The larger deer of British India’, published shortly before his death.

Quickly recognized as an especial authority on Indian mammals, Pocock was invited to contribute the volumes on primates, Carnivora and Ungulata to the new edition of The Fauna of British India. He agreed and at the time of his death had written the first two volumes and was engaged on the third. The volume on Primates., and some of the Carnivora, was published in 1939 and that on the remainder of the Carnivora in 1941. At the last he was also engaged in the preparation of a Catalogue of the Felidae in the British Museum.

During his twenty-four latter years at the Natural History Museum he did as much to enrich the collection of mammals as he had those of the Arachnida and Myriopoda forty years earlier. He corresponded with naturalists and sportsmen all over the world in the hope of obtaining specimens and in con­sequence of his efforts the Museum received many valuable additions to fill gaps in the collection.

In addition to his more technical scientific work he contributed numerous popular articles on almost all branches of zoology to scientific journals and magazines and at the time of his death he was engaged on a series of articles on mammals for two forthcoming encyclopaedias. He wrote the articles on Chilopoda and Diplopoda for the Encyclopaedia Britannica and for several volumes of The Victoria History of the Counties of England. He contributed articles to Lydekker’s Harmsworth Natural History, published in 1910, and wrote the complete section on mammals in Ward Lock’s Natural History edited by 'Pate Regan and published in 1936. For many years he wrote almost every week in the Field and was for some years editor of its ‘Naturalist’ page, from 1886 to 1895 he indexed the classes Arachnida and Myriopoda and from 1892 to 1895 the Crustacea for the Zoological Record.

1 he chief value of Pocock’s work lay in the soundness of his observations and his meticulous attention to accuracy concerning the smallest detail. This power of observation was further exemplified by his skill as an artist, probably

192 Obituary Notices

inherited from his great grandfather, Nicholas Pocock, who was marine artist to King George III. He frequently illustrated his scientific papers himself and made many attractive landscape pictures in pastel and water colour to adorn the walls of his London house and his cottage in Dorset.

His mind was rather of the intellectual and aesthetic than of the practical type and he therefore profited by the educational system practised in the latter half of the nineteenth century. He never lost his liking for the classics and could read Latin and Greek with ease up to the time of his death; in fact he greatly deplored the gradual change of the public school curriculum towards more practical subjects at the expense of the classics. He was fond of reading, especially the works of the Victorian novelists, his favourite authors being Scott and Trollope, although he had a great liking for Kipling, Galsworthy and the scientific romances of Wells. He was equally fond of poetry, his favourite poem being ‘The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam’, although his general preference was for Byron and Tennyson. Also throughout his life he could quote verse after verse from Macaulay’s ‘Lays of Ancient Rome’. He was a Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiast, but otherwise the theatre interested him little and the cinema hardly at all.

Pocock always preferred country life to that of the town and but for the great incentive to zoological work which he always possessed there is little doubt that after his retirement from the Zoological Gardens he would have spent the rest of his life at his Dorset cottage near Chideock, which he had purchased a few years before. Here within a few hundred yards of the sea which he loved and amidst beautiful scenery which formed the subject of most of his pastel sketches he spent many a happy summer holiday geologizing on the Lias cliffs or rambling through the fields and lanes gathering wild flowers or blackberries. His daily bathe in the sea was almost a ritual which he kept up even until his last visit to Dorset at the age of eighty-three. There was a small garden attached to the cottage and this he took a great delight in looking after, although he would never plant it with the usual garden flowers, for which he cared little, much preferring wild species like honeysuckle, campion or willow herb.

As a field naturalist he was more an observer than a collector, although he would trap shrews, mice and voles to send to the Natural History Museum. Throughout his life he was always interested in astronomy and welcomed the ‘black-out’ during the Second World War because it gave an opportunity of observing the stars in London which had been denied to him since he left the unlighted precincts of Regent’s Park.

Both in his youth and at a more advanced age he was at no loss for recreations. Although somewhat slimly built he was extremely wiry and strong, as well as being a good runner, qualities which, combined with his mental alertness, made him a first-class Rugby footballer. With two of his brothers he played for the Clifton Club, pre-eminent in the West of England during the ‘eighties’, and obtained his Gloucestershire ‘cap’. On coming to London he joined Blackheath, making frequent appearances in their 1st XV, and played for that club until the early ‘nineties’. He was a good all-round athlete and won many prizes at

Reginald Innes Pocock 193

Civil Service and other sports in short distance races and the long jump. For a short time he played lacrosse and he was also a useful lawn tennis player. Although in his youth he did not care much for cricket, in advanced years one of his chief recreations was watching a match at Lord’s on a Saturday afternoon, or in the winter a Rugby football match on one or other of the London grounds. For some years after coming to London he was a keen volunteer in the Artists* Corps.

In 1889 Pocock married Constance Osborne, the daughter of a Leicestershire squire. She was a charming lady of the Victorian type, a Roman Catholic. With literary tastes very similar to his own, she herself produced some small poems and a book Highways and Byways of the Zoological Gardens. She was of especial help to him at the Zoological Gardens in entertaining foreign visitors and in providing the social amenities necessarily linked with his duties as Super­intendent. She died in 1942, but fortunately the loss, severe though it was, did not affect Pocock’s capacity for work or his general interests in life. They had four sons, three of whom died in infancy, and a daughter, who died in 1901 at the age of ten. One son survives them.

Although somewhat delicate as a boy, after reaching manhood Pocock hardly knew a day’s illness during the remainder of his long life, and the years treated him kindly. He retained his mental alertness to the end and from middle-age onward appeared much younger than his actual age. When eighty-four years old he journeyed every day from his home in Bloomsbury to the Natural History Museum and was, in fact, working there on the day before his death. He retired to rest that night in the pleasant anticipation of watching a cricket match at Lord’s on the following afternoon, 9 August 1947, but died suddenly during the night from coronary thrombosis. Flis last remark on the previous night was typical and linked two of his chief interests—‘I can see Arcturus .through my window and it is not too bright, so the weather should be fine for the match to-morrow’.
