NOTES AND COMMENTS. 
LINNAEUS. 
We have received two pamphlets having reference to 
Linneus, the bicentenary of whose birth has recently been 
fitly celebrated in various parts of the world. The first is 
‘ Special Guide, No. 3, to the British Museum (Natural History),. 
and is entitled ‘ Memorials of Linnzus, a collection of Portraits, 
Manuscripts, Specimens, and Books exhibited to commemorate 
the bicentenary of his birth.”* This gives an excellent idea of 
the wealth of relics of the botanist in our national collection. 
Accompanying this guide are two excellent plates—one a portrait 
of Linneus in Lapland dress. The second pamphlet. contains 
an excellent account of ‘ Linnaeus, 1707-1778,’ by Mr. W. Hill- 
house, and is issued by the Birmingham Natural History and 
Philosophical Society. 
EARLY IRON-AGE BURIALS. 
From the pen of the Rev. Canon Greenwell has recently 
appeared a paper, on which he has been engaged for some time, 
dealing with ‘Early Iron-Age Burials in Yorkshire.’ In this 
he has gathered together probably all that is known of the Late 
Celtic and Early Iron-Age burials that have been found in the 
county. In addition to isolated burials that have occurrsd, he 
gives full descriptions of the cemeteries of Arras, Hessieskew, 
and the so-called Danes’ graves near Driffield. They are 
thought to contain remains of the Parisi, who, according to 
Ptolemy, occupied this area. Canon Greenwell calls attention 
to the interesting fact that although a fair number of chariot 
burials occur in these late Celtic graves in Yorkshire, only two 
other such burials appear to be known in the whole of the rest 
of Britain, notwithstanding the circumstance that the chariots 
were fairly abundant throughout the country. From a biblio- 
graphical point of view, the paper presents items of interest. 
It was ‘Read 23rd March, 1905’; it bears the date 1906 on the 
cover and title, and includes an account of the chariot burial 
found at Hunmanby in 1907!
