E. J. Catlow
ARRIVED in Adelaide in 1855; died at Mount Gambier, in March, 1885. He was an accomplished Latin, French, and German scholar; and his translations from the German poets were much admired when they appeared in the daily press. Mr. Catlow was of a singularly active turn of mind, and shortly after his arrival in the colony he turned his attention to the construction of magic squares, and after much research discovered a method of forming them of any required dimensions. These rules were so ingenious that a paper on the subject, written by him, was read by Mr. C. Todd before the Adelaide Philosophical Society. Mr. Catlow was a teacher under the Education Department for many years, and master of the Finniss Vale, Yankalilla, and Compton Downs Schools.
