314 NATURAL SCIENCE. Oct.. 1894. 



parents, and educated at the Academy, he passed to Trinity College, 

 Dublin, where he graduated B.A. 1839, M.A., 1842. In 1876 he 

 edited an enlarged and revised edition of J. Cosmo Melvill's " Flora 

 of Harrow," towards the original edition of which he had very 

 largely contributed when a curate at Harrow. In 1875 ^^ accepted 

 the Chancellor's living of Honington, Suffolk, and immediately set to 

 work to compile a flora of Suffolk, which he published in 1889. 

 Having collected a large Herbarium of Suffolk plants, they were 

 presented to the Ipswich and East Suffolk Museum. In 1870 he 

 presented a very large and almost complete collection of British plants 

 to the Trinity College, Dublin, Museum, and as an acknowledg- 

 ment of the gift, was presented wath the honorary degrees of LL.B., 

 LL.D. by a special grace of the Senate. Dr. Hind was a man 

 of high intellectual attainments and wide and varied reading. 

 Essentially of a scientific mind, and an ardent and enthusiastic worker 

 in his own subject, his wide botanical knowledge was always at the 

 service of others. 



The death is announced of Admiral Sir Edward Augustus 

 Inglefield, K.C.B., who commanded three Arctic Expeditions, the 

 first in 1852 in search of Sir John Franklin, and added much to our 

 knowledge of the geography of the Arctic Regions. He had reached 

 the advanced age of 74 years. 



We have also to record the deaths of Pierre Louis Jouy, who 

 had studied the ornithology of Japan, Korea, S. Arizona and Mexico; 

 Dr. Erich Haase, Director of the Royal Siamese Museum in 

 Bangkok, and a special student of the Arthropoda ; Dr. Adolph 

 Hannover, of Copenhagen, a well-known Anatomist and Histologist; 

 Professor Michele Lessona, President of the Academy of Sciences 

 and Director of the Zoological Museum in Turin ; the nonagenarian. 

 Dr. Louis de Coulon, one of the founders and, for most of its 

 existence, the President of the Society of the Natural Sciences in 

 Neufchatel. 



The death of Professor Hermann von Helmholtz, on Sep- 

 tember 9, deprives Physiological Science of one of its most brilliant 

 investigators. We hope to give some account of his work next 

 month.
