Pomologists and Mycologists will alike be grieved to read 
the following sad announcement : — 
HENRY GRAVES BULL, M.D. 
{Of Hereford ), 
DIED ON SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 31, 1885, 
After a Brief Illness, 
Aged 67 years. 
The great work which he laboured to perfect, “ The Here- 
fordshire Pomona,” was just completed, and the smaller 
“ Handbook ” of the Apples and Pears of Herefordshire 
commenced, when he was suddenly struck down by a fearful 
and insidious disease. Those who have met him year by 
year at the Fungus Forays of the Woolhope Club, will ever 
remember his smiling face, his kindly and amiable disposition, 
and his indomitable energy. All that large number of sur- 
vivors who had the privilege of his friendship will unite in the 
testimony that — 
“We shall not look upon his like again.”
