International Geological Congress, Paris, 1900 : An 

 Apologt. — In printing " Notes on the Geology of the Eastern 

 Desert of Egypt," by T. Barron, A.E.C.S., F.G.S., etc., and 

 W. F. Hume, D.Sc, A.E.S.M., etc., published in the April number 

 of this Magazine (pp. 154-161), the words "Abstract of a paper 

 read before the International Geological Congress, Paris, August, 

 1900," were, by accident, omitted to be printed as a footnote to 

 the title, for which the Editor offers his sincere apologies. 



Death of Professor Gustav Lindstrom, For. Mem. Geol. Soc. 

 Lond.— In a letter dated 20th May, 1901, addressed to Dr. F. A. 

 Bather, of the Geological Department, British Museum (Natural 

 History), Dr. E. W. Dahlgren, Librarian of the Swedish Academy 

 of Science, Stockholm, writes : — " I have the painful duty to inform 

 you of the decease of our common friend. Prof. Gustav Lindstrom, on 

 the 16th inst. He had been suffering from erysipelas in the face, 

 but his doctor said it was not dangerous, and no anxiety was felt 

 about him. On the evening of the 15th, however, he became 

 suddenly worse, and early next day he expired." Dr. Lindstrom 

 was so closely associated with English palgeontologists, and was in 

 such intimate relations with geologists in every country, that his 

 loss will be keenly felt by a wide circle of attached friends. We 

 hope to give a suitable notice of Dr. Lindstrom's life and work in 

 the July number of the Geological Magazine. — H. W.
