PERSONAL NOTICES. 



Mr. Lehmann. Two months ago we published a valuable and 

 very readable paper on the manufacture of sugar from the cane, as 

 practised in Louisiana, U.S.A., from the pen of Mr. Adolf Lehmann 

 B.S.A., a member of the Club. As many of our readers know Mr. 

 Lehmann personally, they will be interested to learn that he is now in 

 Germany, prosecuting his studies in Agricultural Chemistry, with a view 

 of taking the degree of Ph.D. For some years he was Assistant Chemist 

 at the Central Experimental Farm, and in that capacity he did excellent 

 work, all that he did being marked with thoroughness and ability. He 

 then went to the Experiment Station at New Orleans, La., U.S.A., 

 where, under the directorship of Dr. Stubbs he was especially engaged 

 for a year and a half in the chemistry of sugar manufacture. 



At Leipzic and Gottingen, Mr. Lehmann purposes making Bacter- 

 iology as applied to Agriculture, his special study. The Field 

 Naturalists' Club wish him all success in his new field of labou/. F.T.S. 



Mr. Carrington. On October 17th some of the members of the 

 Club had the pleasure of meeting Mr. J. T. Carrington, the well known 

 English Naturalist who has just returned from Manitoba with Miss Win" 

 stone and Miss Flora Winstone, where they have been inspecting the work- 

 ing of the '' Young Colonists' Aid Association." Mr Carrington is now 

 the editor of that justly, very popular magazine, " Science Gossip " which 

 has lately changed hands, and appears as a new series, in an improved 

 form. Mr. Carrington was for 13 years editor of the English "Ento- 

 mologist " and for many years was connected with the Natural History 

 department of the Field newspaper. He is to have associated with him 

 Mr. Edward Step, also an accomplished Naturalist. Mr Carrington 

 made considerable collections of botanical specimens in different parts 

 of Manitoba. While in Ottawa, the party visited the Departmental 

 Buildings, the Experimental Farm and the Geological Survey. Mr. 

 Carrington purposes to visit Canada again next spring, and we 

 sincerely hope that it may be possible for him to attend one of our 

 excursions. J. F.
