Sea- Anemones, prepared under high microscopic power, many 

 of these magnificent drawings being coloured. In August, 

 1857, ^^ discovered on the rocks of Lundy Island, at low 

 water, a Sea-Anemone new to science, Phellia brodricii, 

 which was described by the late Mr. P. H. Gosse, in the 

 Annals and Magazine of Natural History, and figured later 

 on in his celebrated " History of British Sea-Anemones and 

 Corals." 



Frederick Bond, F.Z.S., F.E.S. On the loth of August, 

 at Staines, aged 79 years, passed peacefully and quietly away 

 a sincere and beloved friend of naturalists generally, in the 

 person of Frederick Bond. Ornithologists and entomologists 

 of the present generation have lost not only a friend but a 

 guide and philosopher as well, and in him the Entomological 

 Society of London has lost one of its oldest members, he 

 having been elected in 1841. He joined the Zoological 

 Society in 1854. Mr. Bond had no taste for writing long 

 articles ; but short notes from his pen may be found scattered 

 through the journals of Natural History for the past fifty 

 years. He more especially studied British Birds and their 

 eggs, and Lepidoptera. Of the latter he was a most assiduous 

 collector, and he has left behind him probably the most 

 extensive and representative collection now in existence. 

 Mr. Bond might well be termed a British Naturalist, he having 

 but little interest in anything outside of the British Isles. In 

 the hearts of his many friends his memory will still live on ; 

 while by future naturalists he will be best remembered by his 

 eponyms, the British Noctua, Tapinostola bondii, and the 

 Indian Longicorn, Xynemon bondi. My limited space will not 

 permit me to enlarge upon the very many interesting episodes 

 in the life of this departed naturalist ; but I cannot let the 

 opportunity pass of calling your attention to the able 

 Memoir by Mr. Dunning, in the November number of the 

 Entomologist, and to the lengthened record in the Zoologist 

 for the same month. 



Rev. H. J. Gore, M,A., died at Hampstead on September 

 3rd, aged 75. For many years he was the Rector of Rusper, 

 near Horsham, Sussex. He published very little ; but as 

 a field naturalist he was noted for being an indefatigable 

 collector of British Coleoptera.
