Sn Memoriam. 

ok ShOUBLEY: 
WE deeply regret to record that since the publication of a list 
of the members of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union on active 
service, in The Naturalist for January, J. R. Stubley has died 
for his country. For the past year he has been driving his 
car for the First Convoy of the British Ambulance Committee 
attached to the French Red Cross. About five weeks ago he 
contracted pneumonia, and after a serious illness, passed away 
on Monday, December 27th. 
He was a keen entomologist, and when there was a lull in 
the fighting in the Vosges, where he was stationed, and con- 
sequently few wounded to be brought in, he would continue 
the pursuit of natural history and rear caterpillars at his 
billet. 
He was also keenly interested and had a considerable 
experience in the culture of orchids, and being an expert 
photographer, made a fine series of photographs illustrating 
their fertilisation. 
In other country pursuits, he was an enthusiastic motorist 
and tennis player. A first-class game shot, it is pleasant to 
record that he would never kill any rare creature or destroy 
life wantonly. His manly qualities and unfailing good nature 
made him very popular, and he will be greatly missed by all 
who knew him. Mr. Stubley was a nephew of Mr. Walter 
Bagshaw, of Batley.—R. F.

The Rev. E. A. Woodruffe Peacock writes on ‘ Eyes and Ears,’ though 
- he does not say much about them, in The Selborne Magazine for January. 
He explains how to use them. 
The Journal of Conchology for January contains a note on ‘ The Dis- 
covery of Hygromia umbyosa in England ’ (at Margate), by J. W. Taylor, 
and ‘ Additions to the Land and Freshwater ee: ofJura, Colonsay 
with Oronsay and Islay,’ by J. F. Musham. We notice under Helix 
memovalis ‘two colonies (Staff-Surgeon Jones and myself) ’ ! 
Among ‘the additions to the St. Helens Museum recorded in the recent 
report, we notice ‘a fine copy of Raphael’s celebrated masterpiece, the 
““Madonna della Seggiola.”’’ The report goes on to say that ‘the frvameis 
in English gilt, is of a very elaborate design, and is also an exact facsimile 
of the original.’ A case of ptarmigan and a case of butterflies and moths 
form the natural history additions for the year.
