Since the last Journal passed into the press the 
Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society has lost its 
senior member, the Right Reverend George Frederick 
Hose, who died at Normandy near Guildford, Surrey, on 
March the 26th. Born on September 3rd, 1888, he be- 
came Chaplain of Malacca in 1868, Archdeacon of Singa- 
pore in 1874, and Bishop of Singapore, Labuan and 
Sarawak in 1881. He retired in 1908. While Arch- 
deacon of Singapore our Branch of the Royal Asiatic 
Society was founded by his efforts; and he was our first 
President. An account of his work in the Hast will be 
found in the 54th part of the Journal. 
He was one of those who chose the Branch’s name: 
but before his death he had given approval to the change 
whereby we become the Malayan Branch ;—a change which 
will take place with the first of next year, so that this 
Journal is the last that will appear under the familiar 
title. The series which it concludes may be dedicated ap- 
propriately to his memory.
