The Naturalist. 



from Cephalozia divaricata by its inflorescence being on lateral branches, 

 its uncinate leaves, and other characters. A species which had erroneously 

 been looked upon as a form of Cephalozia connivens (Dicks.), is named by 

 the author Cephalozia muUifiora, and from the full description given, there 

 will be no difficulty in determining the Cephalozia multifiora of Spruce, 

 whatever there may be of the Cephalozia multiflora of other authors. 

 Several species only previously announced as British, are fully described 

 by the author, and their stations given. The book can be obtained from 

 Mr. J. W. Slater, Malton, or Mr. Wesley, Essex-st., Strand, London, 6/-

OBITUARY. — Me,. Roger Earnshaw. — We have to record the 

 death of one of our most eminent local botanists, at the age of 53. 

 Mr. Earnshaw had been a member of the Ovenden Naturalists' Society 

 since its commencement, and was well known as a botanist far beyond 

 the limits of his own district. During the existence of the West-Riding 

 Consolidated Naturalists' Society he was frequently sent to represent his 

 society at their meetings, and was several times called upon to assist in 

 naming the specimens collected during the day's ramble, this being 

 considered not only an honour, but as a rather severe test of his know- 

 ledge of botany. He was one of those humble workers in science who 

 seem to be fast dying out — men who loved to spend their time and 

 money in the pure desire for knowledge, and who, according to the high
