Sutton Aylmer Davies, Lieutenant in the East Lancashire 

 Regiment, was a promising young naturalist who joined the 

 B. O. U. in 1899. It will he remembered that he accom- 

 panied Mr. John Stares to Lapland last year., and an account 

 of their trip appeared in ' The Ibis' for January. Amongst 

 other successes, they found the nest and eggs of the Dusky 

 lledshank. His untimely death by the capsizing of a boat 

 on the Kuadakwasla Lake, near Poona, in May last, is to be 

 much regretted.
