286 OlUuary — Edward Crane, F.G.S. 



Congress excursion to that region. I did not intend the notes as a 

 narrative of the excursion, only as a small help to friends interested 

 in geology who may not possess that most admirable guide, the 

 " Livret Guide," provided by the Committee for members of the 

 International Geological Congress, over which so much labour must 

 have been expended. 



T desire now through the medium of the Geological Magazine 

 to tender my sincere thanks to the Directors, to whom we were all 

 greatly indebted for their kind attention and able discourses.

Sir, — May I point out to Dr. Wellburn that the value of his 

 work on Palgeozoology will be enhanced if he will take a little 

 more trouble in his method. I read Psepliodus, sp. nov., Acantliodes, 

 sp. nov., Euctenodopsis, sp. nov. ; but in all these cases I have 

 to dig the specific names out of the text. They should follow the 

 generic name ; if they do not they are likely to be overlooked. 

 Those forms which are described, and to which specific names are 

 given by the author, should also have been properly entered up in 

 the table. The specialist will, no doubt, read such papers right 

 through, but that will certainly not be the case of the 



OVEKWHELMED KeCORDEK.

 continent of Europe, and, returning to England in November, 1867, 

 settled in Brighton ; having purchased a house in Wellington Koad, 

 he resided there until his sudden death on April 25th, 1901. 



When the town Museum was removed from the Pavilion rooms 

 to the present building in Church Street, Edward Crane assisted in 

 arranging the geological gallery. He became a member of the 

 Museum Sub-Committee in 1873 during the Chairmanship of his
