EDITORIAL NOTES. 



Another year has rolled away since we had to refer to 

 our August meeting as a practical impossibility owing to 

 the war, and to our extreme regret we are again compelled, 

 and for the same unhappy reason, to abandon any hope 

 that between now and the August Bank Holiday the 

 position will be sufficiently changed to admit of such 

 meeting on the old lines. (See special note on page 75.) 

 Meanwhile, the Editor has great pleasure in announcing 

 that the members, despite the war, have manfully sup- 

 ported him, a very few withdrawing their support, and 

 even these have been mostly replaced by fresh ones, so 

 that numerically and financially we have suffered but little. 

 We, however, regret to have to announce the somewhat 

 sudden death of Mr. T. G. H. Eley, one of our most 

 valued members, whose portrait we reproduce by the 

 courtesy of the Bavvow News, together with an obituary 

 notice.
