It is with regret we have to announce the death of a 

 member of the Trinidad Field Naturalists' Club — the Hon. 

 Henry Fowler, Colonial Secretary, who died at his residence, 

 First East Street, on Nov. 25th, after an illness of some weeks' 

 duration. Mr. Fowler was elected a member of this Club on the 

 7th of June, 1892, and although he seldom attended its meetings 

 he always expressed himself as being in the fullest sympathy 

 with its work. He presided at the last annual meeting and made 

 a few graceful remarks in reply to the Presidential addi'ess. 

 Mr. Fowler is the first member the Club has lost through death.
