Sir Henry Johnson took great interest in birds and became 

 a metnber of the Union and the Club, the dinners of which 

 lie occasionally attended, but he did not, so far as we are 

 aware, make any original contril)utions to ornithology. 



George Hogarth Dawson. 



We regret to record the deatli of Mr. G. H. Dawson, 

 which occurred very suddenly on 12 October, 1917, in 

 London. 



Born in 1845, he was a member of Lloyds and was bead 

 of the firm of Dawson Brothers. He was a keen sportsman 

 and a good polo player, but had to relinquish the game 

 owing to a severe accident. He was also an enthusiastic 

 fox-liunter and rode with the Essex hounds for 59 seasons. 

 After his accident at polo he continued to hunt, riding on a 

 lady's side-saddle, as he was unai)le to sit on an ordinary 

 cross-saddle. 



He was keenly interested in bird-life and a good observer, 

 and was elected a member of the Union in 1915. 



We also regret to have to record the recent death of 

 Prof. Martorelli of the Civic Museum at Milan, a Foreign 

 Member of the B. O. U since 1903. We hope to publish a 

 notice of his ornithological activities in the next number of 

 ' The Ibis.'
