240-243. Living within easy walking distance of Kingmoor, 

 he spent much time there and extended the list considerably. 

 He was a strong advocate of leaving Kingmoor in its natural 

 state. Anything in the way of proposed draining or levelling, 

 which would tend to destroy the character of the place, found 

 in him a vigorous opponent. His desire was to see things 

 revert to primitive wildness unassisted by the human hand 

 of improvement. 



His death leaves a conspicuous gap in the ranks of Cumber- 

 land Naturalists, and the Carlisle Society has lost an irreplace- 

 able member. He leaves a widow and two daughters. — F.H.D.

The Correct Arms of Kingston-upon-Hull, by T. Sheppard, M.Sc. F.G.S. 

 Hull, A. Brown & Sons. 54 pp., 2S. 6d. net. Mr. Sheppard tell us that 

 five years ago, he read a paper, which was duly published, on the Arms of 

 Hull, in which he appealed for uniformity in the use of the city's arms, 

 and he gave what he considered to be the correct arms, this being the 

 earliest representation known. Over four years later a well-known archi- 

 tect in Hull wrote a book on ' The Arms of Hull,' in which he said that 

 Mr. Sheppard's representation was 'incorrect,' and that several which

 Anglo-Saxon manuscript. 



Mr. Sheppard said were incorrect, were correct. We don't know much 

 about arms, but we do know something about Mr. Sheppard. His reply, 

 in the present volume, is what we might have expected. He has reprinted 

 his original paper, which is a distinct contribution to local history : and 

 then says something about the volume written by his critic. That ' some- 

 thing ' is very amusing — very caustic, and, well — we are glad to think 

 that we know better than to roughly handle .Mr. Sluppard. One of the 

 fifty illustrations is reproduced herewith, and is fairly typical of the tone 

 of the volume, which is well bound and in keeping with the same author's 

 ' Lost Towns of Yorkshire ' and ' Yorkshire's Contribution to Science.' 



Part 5 of A Bibliography of British Ornithology, by W. H. Mullens 

 and H. Kirke Swann (MacMillan cV- Co., pp. 497- 62 4. 6s - net ). contains

 ological work of the following writers is mentioned : — John Ruskin, Sir E. 

 Sabine, Howard Saunders, P. L. Sclater, Henry Scebohm, P. J. Sclbv, 

 Robert Service, W. Shakespeare, R. Bowdler Sharpe, Thomas Sheppard, 

 A. E. Shipley, Sir Robert Sibbald, T. Southwell, J. Sowerby, C. Stonham,

 M. Tunstall, W. Turner, E. W. Wade, C. Waterton, W. M. Webb, H. W. 

 Weir and W P. Westell. Many of these names will be familiar to our 

 readers. Quite a large proportion were, or are, contributors to our journa I , 

 though we'cannot claim Shakespeare nor Ruskin.
