OBITUARY. 
LIEUTENANT-CoLONEL L. L. FENTON, 
Licutenant-Colonel Layard Livingstone Fenton, who died recently at Marsh 
Hall, South Moulton, aged 72, was the son of the Rev. George Livingstone 
Fenton, late Chaplain of St. Mary's Church, Poona, and of the English Church, 
San Remo. He was born in 1849, joined the Royal Artillery in 1870, and was 
appointed to the lst Grenadiers, Bombay Native Infantry (now 101st 
Grenadiers, I.A.), in 1872. In the following year he joined the Indian 
Revenue Survey, and was appointed Political Assistant at Kathiawar in 1889 
and President of the Rajastanik Court in 1896, which appointment he held 
until he retired in 1901. During the War he offered his services to the 
Government of Bombay. Lt.-Col. Fenton was well known in many parts of 
India as a keen sportsman and naturalist and contributed frequently to various 
sporting journals. 
Members of the Society will recall Lt.-Col. Fenton’s interesting articles on 
the Indian Lion published in Volumes XIX and XX of the Society's Journal. 
The preservation of the Lion from extinction in this country is due very 
largely to his efforts. 
In addition to his articles on the Lion the readers of our Journal are 
indebted to him for a number of contributions on a variety of subjects dealing 
with Sport and Natural History. Col. Fenton is to be classed among those 
intelligent Field Naturalists who hy their carefully collected notes and observa- 
tions do so much to assist the Scientific or Musewm worker in unravelling the 
many problems before him.
