1910 (vol. lxvi, pp. 189-253), and is an important contribution 

 to our knowledge of Central Africa. From 1909 to 1912 Bailejr 

 was employed in research in the oil-fields of Burmah and Borneo. 

 He was 86 years old when he fell. He had seen and learnt much, 

 and it is an aggravation of our loss that he should have been cut 

 down at the very last stage of the fighting. 



Ee^est BejO'Ett Beieelet. Newtox, M.Inst.C.E., a prominent 

 municipal engineer, was born in Chester in 1873, received his 

 early education at Eccles, and, after matriculating at London 

 University in 1890, was trained in his profession at Manchester 

 and Carlisle. He became a Fellow of our Society in 1897. In 

 1898 he entered the service of the Metropolitan Borough of 

 Paddington, and was promoted to the post of Borough Engineer 

 and Surveyor in 1901, being at that time one of the youngest 

 engineers to hold so important a position in the municipal world. 

 He continued in this office until the War, joining the Army 

 early in 1915 with a commission in the Glamorgan Fortress 

 Engineers. In 1916 he went to France as Lieutenant, Royal 

 Engineers, and survived until 1918, when he was reported missing, 

 and was eventually recorded as ' killed in action ' on April 10th, 

 1918, at Armentieres, at the age of 45 years. While at Carlisle 

 he executed a series of archaeological surveys in connexion 

 with the Roman Wall. He was also the author of a work on 

 sewerage schemes, and contributed articles on cognate subjects to 

 the professional journals. He held office in man} r technical 

 societies, and possessed qualities which marked him for further 

 advancement. 



From the Foreign List .we have lost two Correspondents, 

 Dr. F. P. Moreno and Dr. Paid Choffat. 



Dr. Feancisco P. Moeeno, who was elected a Foreign Corre- 

 spondent in 1894, accomplished much for the promotion of natural 

 science in the Argentine Republic. He was born in Buenos Aires 

 on May 31st, 1852, and began early to follow his inclination to 

 travel and make natural-history collections. So long ago as 1874 

 he wrote on the prehistoric cemeteries of Patagonia in the 'Revue 

 d' Anthropologic,' and three years later he had already collected so- 

 important a series of anthropological and archaeological specimens 

 that the Argentine Government accepted them to form the basis 

 of a new Anthropological & Archaological Museum in Buenos
