OBITUARY NOTICES, 



The Honorary Secretary read obituary notices on the late Mr. R. A. Sterndale 

 and the late Mr. Chas. Maries, V. M. H,, in which mention was made of the 

 great loss the Society had suffered from the deaths of these members. 

 LIVE SNAKES REQUIRED. 



The Honorary Pecretary appealed to members and their friends in all parts 

 of India to send to the Society's Museum live specimens of snakes. Captain 

 Wall, I. M.S., having undertaken to write a series of papers for the Journal 

 describing the " Indian Snakes," it is desirous to illustrate the same with 

 coloured plates. The only way that these can be successfully done is from live 

 specimens, and therefore it is hoped that members will endeavour to send in 

 all the snakes that can be obtained. Arrangements have been made for the 

 sketches to be done here. 



The Honorary Secretary said it was hardly necessary for him to touch on 

 the importance of such a. series-^both from a popular and educational point 

 of view. There was practically no illustrated work on the snakes of 

 this country with the exception of Nicholson's, which was very old, and 

 Fayrer's 'Thanatophidia,' which was confined to the venomous snakes and 

 was very expensive, so that a work of this kind would supply a much- 

 felt want.
