NEWS GLEANINGS. 



John Grattan. 



Prof. Symington has issued in pamphlet form his recent presidential 

 address to the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society on the 

 craniological work of the late John Grattan, of Belfast. The address is a 

 high appreciation of the exact methods and mechanical skill of this but 

 little known investigator, and Grattan's ingenious form of craniometer is 

 illustrated and described. 



S. A. Stewart 



Our heartiest congratulations to our veteran colleague, S. A. Stewart, 

 of Belfast, on his election to the Associateship of the Linnean Society.
