a suitable testimonial to Professor Percy Fry Kendall, M.Se., of

valuable assistance on both the scientific and economic sides of the 
geology of the Coalfields, in addition to other interesting and 
useful investigations and the popularizing of geological science by 
lectures and addresses in Yorkshire and the north of England.

By the death of Mr. Charles Edward Fagan, C.B.E., I1.8.0., 
Secretary of the British Museum (Natural History) on J anuary 30, 
aged 65 years, science has been deprived of the active services of an 
executive officer who for years past had exerted himself very warmly 
on behalf of the National Museum. He rendered valuable aid in 
sending off expeditions to various regions and in obtaining the 
necessary funds for the publication of the scientific results obtained 
and ensuring the acquisition and preservation of the new and rare 
Specimens met with. Mr, Fagan entered the Museum in 1873, was 
made assistant secretary in 1889, and secretary in 1919. He 
would have retired this spring.
