The death of Mr. John Orfeur, avIio, though in his eightieth year 
Avas one of the active members of our Society, removed a Avell-

Though not a member of our Societ 3 »^, Mr. Eobert Eising, of 
Horsey, Avas so Avell knoAvn to Norfolk Naturalists, that I may 
quote the obituary notice of him in the ‘Norfolk Chronicle’ of the 
14th of this month : — “Eorn, Ave believe, at Horsey, Mr. Eising Avas 
educated at the Nonvich Grammar School, under Valpy, and Avas 
a constant attendant at the annual gatlierings of the "Valpeian Club, 
in this city, and has survived, only by a feAV Aveeks, his octogenarian 
school felloAV, ]\fr. F. A. IMills, — his senior by one year. Mr. Eising, 
like liis old friend, Avas, in former years, a keen sportsman and 
thorough outdoor naturalist, such tastes having been early fostered 
by the surroundings of his father’s residence at Horsey (an estate 
purchased by him at the commencement of the present century), 
and which, though vastly improved, and at a considerable outlay, 
by drainage, embankment, and other agricultural improvements.
