A specimen of a false-scorpion, Che/tfer cancrotdes Linn., from ;Man- 
chester, is figured in the October * Zoologist.’ 
A photograph of a nest of a common Heron on the ground in a wood 
near Scarborough is reproduced in ‘ British Birds’ for October. 
In the October ‘Geological Magazine’ Dr. F. A. Bather has a useful 
note on ‘ Nathorst’s use of Collodion Imprints in the Study of Fossil Plants.” 
We are sorry to record the death of Mr. Howard Saunders, at the age 
of seventy-two. His admirable work in the ornithological world is well known. 
We regret to have to record the death of Mr. I. Chalkley Gould, F.S.A., 
who has done so much in connection with the study and preservation of 
ancient earthworks and other monuments of the past. He was in his 
sixty-fourth year. 
We regret to record the death of Prof. Charles Stewart, LL.D., F.R.S., 
Conservator for the past twenty-three years to the Royal College of 
Surgeons, London. His work at the College of Surgeons’ Museum has 
been, almost superhuman, and on the shelves of that Institution, rather than 
by his writings, will Prof. Stewart’s work be remembered in the future. 
Several remains of Hyzena, Bear, Rhinoceros, Lion, and Elephant, from 
the Hoe Grange Cavern, near Brassington, Derbyshire, have been added 
to the paleontological collection in the Natural History Museum, South 
Kensington. 
In ‘Man’ for October Mr. S. H. Warren has a ‘ Note on some Palzo- 
lithic and Neolithic Implements from East Lincolnshire.’ Judging from the 
drawings, however, the evidence of, at any rate, the Paleolithic implements, 
is by no means convincing. 
A mammoth tusk is recorded, at a depth of 154 feet, ‘in the upper layer 
of the Keuper Marl,’ near Water Orton, in the Midlands. Another 46 inches 
in length, and weighing 7o lbs., is recorded from the boulder-clay at Horn- 
sea. It is ‘free from all shelling.’ 
In ‘A few notes on nature’s year, published in a contemporary, we learn 
that in October the woods smell ‘ leafy,’ in November the rabbits gambol, 
and that December 25th is Christmas Day! Did not Wordsworth say, ‘To 
the solid ground of Nature trusts the mind which builds for aye’ ? 
A ‘ TAIL-PIECE.’ 
The Elephant (very disgusted), ‘ DASH THAT SHORTSIGHTED 
FOOL OF A KEEPER. THAT'S THE SECOND TIME HE'S PUT MY 
GRUB AT THE WRONG END!’—Reproduced from ‘ Punch’ by
