* It is -with great vegret that we Iiave to state that, since the above was in type, the deatii 

 ot Mr. Gibson has been announced. In a botanizing excursion on the north shore of Lake 

 Superior, during the vacation season of 1376, Mr. Gibson unhappily contracted rheumatic 

 fever, which afterwards terminated fatally at Montreal. At the time of his decease, Mr. 

 Gibson was Science Master in the Normal School at Ottawa. He was born at Bayfield, in tlie 

 County of Huron, and graduated at the University of Toronto in 1872. The valuable con tri- 

 hutiou to Canadian Botanical Science, of which Mr. Gibson, conjointly with Professor Macoun, 

 was the author, will he continued in these pages by the latter gentleman.
