Louis Catort, the doyen of the Italian anatomists, was born at San 
Pietro in Casala, Bologna. His father was a doctor of medicine in 
practice at San Pietro, and young Louis attended the University of 
Bologna, becoming M.I). in 1829. In 1830 he was elected assistant 
professor of anatomy at his University; in 1835 he obtained the chair 
of comparative anatomy; and in 1844 that of human anatomy. He 
was ten times President of the Bologna Academy, and that body 
published a bibliographical list of his works in the fifth volume of the 
fourth series of the Actes. In the same year, 1884, the Academy 
gave a féte in his honour. Calori’s chief zoological work was done 
among the Reptilia, but his researches threw light on many other 
groups of the animal kingdom. 
CapTAIN EpDwARD YERBURY WATSON, who was killed by a sniper on 
November 8 at Simla while with Sir Wm. Lockhart’s camp, was well 
known as an authority on the Hesperidae. He had arranged the 
collection at the British Museum before returning to India. Captain 
Watson was acting as Deputy-Assistant Commissary-General, and 
had seen a good deal of service in Burmah. He was promoted to the 
captaincy in 1895. 
Dr Otto VOLGER, whose death was announced at the end of October, 
was a well-known German educationalist. His chief claim to posterity 
was his worship of Goethe and his care of the Goethehaus, but he was 
an indefatigable writer in the teaching of natural history and geology, 
both in Switzerland and Germany, and has left many minor works on 
those subjects.
