OBITUARY. 



Alfred Vaughan Jennings. 



We regret to announce the death of this talented London naturalist, 

 whose work in Dublin, in connection with the Royal College of Science 

 and National Museum, from 1S95 to 1898, will not soon be forgotten. 

 He passed away at Christiania, on January nth, in his 39th year. Only 

 eighteen years ago he was bracketed first with Martin F. Woodward in 

 Huxley's advanced zoology class at South Kensington, and it is sad to 

 think that both these brilliant students are no longer with us. Jennings 

 was a most enthusiastic teacher, and he possessed an all-round know- 

 ledge of the natural sciences that is rare in these days of excessive 

 specialization.
