THE NAUTILUS. 107 



These have now been recovered, and the animal may take the name 

 originally given in MS., Triopha aurantiaca. It is close to T. car- 

 penteri Stearns, in external characters, but instead of being white it 

 is orange, with the appendages tipped with vermilion. T. D. A.

HENRY VENDRYES. 



Mr. Henry Vendryes, well known to students of the Jamaican 

 fauna, died at Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 20, 1907, in his 86th year. 



Mr. Vendryes was of French extraction, his father having served 

 with Napoleon, and was born on the island Oct. 30, 1822. He be- 

 came a student of law with Donald Campbell, a noted solicitor of 

 that day. After making a temporary experiment as a business man, 

 he soon returned to his first choice. In 1879 he was appointed an 

 advocate of the Supreme Court, and was offered but declined the 

 position of resident magistrate on the island. He distinguished him- 

 self in private practice of the law, and was for a time the editor of a 

 local paper now extinct, the " Colonial Standard." His accomplish- 

 ments in music were exceptional, but it is as a conchologist and the 

 friend of conchological students interested in the Jamaican fauna 

 that the readers of the NAUTILUS will chiefly remember him. He 

 contributed largely to the cabinets of Adams, Chitty, Bland, Guppy 

 and others as their publications show, and was most courteous and 

 generous in extending aid to all who were interested in his special 

 science. He leaves a large family connection. He suffered serious 

 financial losses by the Kingston earthquake, and his uniquely com- 

 plete collection of Jamaican shells and fossils has been offered for 

 sale, particulars of which can be learned from his late partner and 

 son-in-law, Mr. R. W. Bryant, of Kingston. "W. H. DALL.
