conferred upon him by the University of Leeds, was the one he 
treasured most. : 
Dr. Anderson died of enteric fever while on his way home 
from the Philippine Islands; and his remains will rest at Suez. 
The toll upon Yorkshire scientific men has recently been 
exceedingly severe, and the present blow is especially so, as it 
was so unexpected.

NORTHERN NEWS. 
We regret to record the death of Mr. J. Logan Lobley, F.G.S., at the 
age of 8o. 
Mr. Edward Lovett has published an interesting pamphlet on The 
Gun-flint Industry of Brandon. 
We regret to record the death of Mr. Walter Jackson, of Goole, who 
took a keen interest in the work of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union. 
The Curator, Mr. S. L. Mosley, has issued a circular to say that the 
Huddersfield Museum is not a place of amusement, but an educational 
institution, and that teas are provided for large or small parties. 
There is no ground for the rumour that two active Yorkshire ornitholo- 
gists have joined the ranks of the militant suffragettes. The fact that 
they were on the Bass Rock when it was fired was merely a coincidence. 
We regret to record the death of T. F. Jamieson, one of the pioneers 
of the land-ice hypothesis, and, in the early days of the controversy 
between the supporters of the land-ice and submergence theory, he took 
a very effective part. 
The Annual Report of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society for 1912 
contains an address on the ‘ Development of Education’ by Dr. Bonney, 
and a paper on ‘ The Charm of St. Mary’s Abbey and the Architectural 
Museum, York,’ by Mr. E. Ridsdale Tate. 
According to Leaflet No. 197 of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, 
which deals with Agricultural Education and Research in England and 
Wales, the Board now makes grants in aid of higher agricultural education 
to the extent of £18,500 per annum. 
According to The Yorkshive Post, Mr. W. Hewett, of York, who has 
“accumulated about 45,000 specimens,’ has been awarded the Dunmow 
flitch of bacon for living twenty-five years without a quarrel with Mrs. 
Hewett. The report adds, with truth, that Mr. Hewett’s ‘merits and 
achievements’ are well known to University professors and Museum 
curators. From another account we learn the happy possessor of the bacon 
has a family of 50,000 caterpillars, but as the bacon fell on one of them, 
there are now only 49,999, and two of these are sickly. Mr. Hewett is 
“ often to be seen, sometimes with his wife, dangling on a rope from the 
cliffs at Flamborough Head. He is of great renown, and possesses a 
collection superior to anything in the British Museum.’ Another paper 
states that the collection of caterpillars, guillemots’ eggs, and the like 
‘only contains 45,000 specimens,’ but apparently the representative of 
that paper cannot count. Besides being photographed, the happy couple 
were ‘cinematographed,’ so that there will be a permanent record of 
this historic event. Mr. Hewett ‘wears all his learning lightly,’ and 
we join others in congratulating him upon his latest achievement.
