HUDSON, WILLIAM HENRY (1841-1922), British nat uralist and writer, was born at Quilmes, near Buenos Aires, on Aug. 4, 1841, and remained on the pampas until 1874, when he came to England. From then the greater part of his life was spent in poverty, and marked by frequent ill-health. His wife, Emily, long kept a boarding-house in London, where Hudson too lived, known to only a small circle of appreciative friends. A civil list pension granted in 1901 aided him somewhat, but he relinquished this when belated success reached him. He died in London on Aug. 18, 1922, and was buried at Broadwater, Sussex. Hudson called himself a field naturalist, and though the charms of wild life made a pre-eminent appeal to his sincere observing mind, he was not without an understanding of simple human joys and sorrows. This versatility of his sensitive nature is well in stanced in his last work, A Hind in Richmond Park, published posthumously in 1922. His other writings include the memorable pictures of the South America of his youth, such as The Purple Land (1885) ; A Crystal Age (1887) ; El Ombg (1902) ; Green Mansions (1904) ; Far Away and Long Ago (1918) ; of the Eng lish countryside, such as Afoot in England (1909) ; A Shepherd's Life (1910) ; Dead Man's Flack (1920) ; ornithological works, as his collaboration with P. L. Sclater in Argentine Ornithology (1888) ; and his own British Birds (1895) ; and Birds of La Plata (192o) ; and many pamphlets for the Society for Protection of Birds. A bird sanctuary with a decoration by Jacob Epstein was erected to his memory in Hyde Park, London, in 1925.
