We regret to record the death of Jean Henri Fabre, the famous French 
entomologist. 
The Board of Agriculture special leaflets Nos. 38 and 39 deal with 
* Bracken as Litter ’ and ‘ Potato Disease ’ respectively. 
We see that Dr. E. C. Chappell has lectured to the Spalding Gentlemen’s 
Society on ‘ The Shrapnel and High Explosive Shell,’ with concrete illus- 
trations. 
We have received parts 19-20 (pages 89-103 and 5 plates) of The Birds 
of the Huddersfield District, by S. L. and F. O. Mosley, which completes 
this work, at last. 
From Mr. E. A. Martin, F.G.S., we have received an interesting paper 
on ‘ Problems in Coast Erosion,’ and though this deals largely with the 
south coast, reference is made to the erosion taking place in Yorkshire 
and other districts. Mr. Martin also favours us with his paper on 
‘ Brighton’s Lost River.’ 
The Executive Committee of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union suggests 
the following excursions for 1916 :—22nd to 24th April (Easter week-end), 
Malton; Saturday, 20th May, Bolton Woods; toth to 12th June (Whit 
week-end), Middleham ; Saturday, 8th July, Driffield; and 5th to 7th 
August (Bank Holiday week-end), Wentbridge, near Pontefract. 
A recent obituary notice recalls memories of the First Yorkshire 
Fungus Foray at Leeds in 1881. One prominent feature was a Fungus 
Feast at Powolny’s Restaurant, when the fungi were cooked to perfection 
from recipes from an old monastic source by Mr. E. Adolf Powolny, the 
celebrated culinary artist of Leeds. Mr. Powolny died on the 17th 
September at a ripe old age, and his geniality and skill are not forgotten 
by some of us. 
Mr. G. Laughton, of Leeds, informs us that whilst in the garden on 
August 21st he was watching a bee gathering honey from some snap- 
dragons. After a time, it settled on a flower, and after a hard struggle 
managed to force the two ‘lips’ or ‘jaws’ apart and enter the flower. 
But then it stuck. It could not get back however hard it tried. It pushed 
and squirmed and wriggled, but to no effect. Aftera time, he opened the 
‘lips’ apart a little, and the bee then emerged, covered with pollen on 
its back, and flew away.’ Such occurrences are recorded with other 
plants, e.g., the ‘ Red-hot Poker.’
