*Ccpholoziella Limprichtii Warnst. ; Nant y Ffrith (J. C. 

 Wilson). It occurs in five other vice-comital areas — four 

 in England and one in Scotland. Barren and non-typical 

 plants have a remarkable resemblance to C. ceraria and 

 were at first doubtfully recorded as belonging to that 

 species. Fertile plants were found by Mr. Wilson and 

 the paroicous inflorescence excludes the rarer species.

The Forty-sixth A initial Report of the Chester Society of Natural Science, 

 Literature and Art is ' considerably condensed in order to economise 

 paper as desired by the paper commissioners appointed by the Board of 

 Trade.' The report deplores the death of Thomas Shepheard, who was 

 one of the original founders of the Society, and of Prof. McKenny Hughes, 

 who was President for 16 years. There is a lengthy list of members 

 who have ' given their services to their King and Country for the period 

 of the war,' though, unfortunately, some of them have apparently done so 

 for a much longer period. 



We quote the following from the Yorkshire Post of August 28th, 

 without comment : — ' The death occurred suddenly at his residence, 

 Eyebury, Peterborough, on Saturday, of Major A. N. Leeds, a well-known 

 geologist and agriculturalist, at the age of 70. Major Leeds, who was 

 an old Volunteer officer of the Northamptonshire Regiment, was a great 

 authority and practical manipulator of the Saurian remains in the Oxford 

 clays of the Peterborough district. A mammoth discovered some years 

 ago in the Fletton Brickyards, near Peterborough, was set up by him, 

 and is now in the South Kensington Museum. It was named in his honour 

 Plesiosaurus Leedsi.
