THE LATE G. C. DENNIS. 
Ir is with extreme regret that we have to record the death of 
Mr. George Christopher Dennis, F.E.S., of York, whose 
sudden death at the age of 49 has removed from our midst 
a kind-hearted, generous, true, and sympathising friend, an 
upright and conscientious man, an observant and a diligent 
student of nature. As President for many years of the York and 
District Field Naturalists’ Society he was most highly respected 
and valued, at all times furthering the interests and promoting 
the welfare of the society, not merely by his genial presence at 
the meetings, but by the generous help he gave to all measures 
tending to promote the success and stability of the society. 
The loss the society has sustained by his untimely death is deep 
and irreparable, leaving a gap in the ‘society which will not 
readily be filled up.—RoBERT DUTTON.
