  It 
  is 
  -witli 
  much 
  regret 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  to 
  record 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  

   Miss 
  J. 
  E. 
  LiNTER, 
  who 
  had 
  been 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  since 
  the 
  

   year 
  1895. 
  

  

  Of 
  a 
  retiring 
  disposition 
  Miss 
  Linter 
  did 
  not 
  attend 
  the 
  meetings 
  

   of 
  the 
  Society, 
  and 
  consequently 
  was 
  not 
  known 
  personally 
  to 
  many 
  

   of 
  the 
  members. 
  She 
  was, 
  however, 
  an 
  enthusiastic 
  collector, 
  and 
  

   her 
  cabinets 
  contained 
  very 
  many 
  rare 
  and 
  interesting 
  species, 
  more 
  

   especially 
  of 
  land 
  shells. 
  Many 
  of 
  these 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  collections 
  

   made 
  in 
  India 
  by 
  W. 
  Theobald 
  and 
  Colonel 
  Skinner. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  understood 
  that 
  her 
  collection 
  has 
  been 
  bequeathed 
  to 
  the 
  

   Devon 
  and 
  Exeter 
  Museum 
  on 
  condition 
  that 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  accessible 
  

   to 
  the 
  public. 
  

  

  Miss 
  Linter 
  was 
  born 
  at 
  Teignmouth 
  in 
  the 
  year 
  1844, 
  and 
  her 
  

   death 
  occurred 
  at 
  her 
  residence, 
  Saville 
  House, 
  Twickenham, 
  on 
  

   August 
  30th, 
  1909.

  Smith. 
  

  

  We 
  also 
  have 
  to 
  record, 
  with 
  deep 
  regret, 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  the 
  

   Rev. 
  Geoege 
  Ferris 
  Whidborne, 
  M.A., 
  F.G.S., 
  etc., 
  which 
  took 
  place 
  

   on 
  the 
  14th 
  of 
  February 
  last 
  at 
  the 
  age 
  of 
  64. 
  . 
  Mr. 
  Whidborne 
  was 
  

   a 
  member 
  of 
  this 
  Society 
  for 
  upwards 
  of 
  sixteen 
  years, 
  but 
  rarely 
  

   attended 
  its 
  meetings 
  and 
  was 
  not 
  a 
  contributor 
  to 
  the 
  'Proceedings'. 
  

   On 
  palseontological 
  subjects, 
  however, 
  he 
  accomplished 
  considerable 
  

   work, 
  especially 
  in 
  connexion 
  with 
  the 
  British 
  Inferior 
  Oolite 
  Pelecy- 
  

   poda, 
  and 
  the 
  various 
  groups 
  of 
  mollusca 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Devonian 
  

   formation 
  of 
  the 
  South 
  of 
  England. 
  The 
  magnitude 
  of 
  his 
  Devonian 
  

   Memoir, 
  published 
  by 
  the 
  Falseontographical 
  Society, 
  may 
  be 
  better 
  

   understood 
  when 
  it 
  is 
  stated 
  that 
  the 
  parts 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  Cephalopoda, 
  

   Gastropoda, 
  and 
  Pelecypoda 
  comprise 
  more 
  than 
  fifty 
  quarto 
  plates 
  

   and 
  upwards 
  of 
  five 
  hundred 
  pages 
  of 
  descriptive 
  text. 
  As 
  a 
  man 
  of 
  

   considerable 
  wealth, 
  he 
  was 
  able 
  to 
  command 
  any 
  number 
  of 
  plates 
  

   for 
  illustrating 
  his 
  monographs, 
  and 
  these 
  have 
  largely 
  added 
  to 
  

   the 
  importance 
  and 
  value 
  of 
  his 
  pala^ontological 
  writings.
