J. BEANLAND.* 
On Sunday, September 18th, 1932, occurred the death of 
Mr. J. Beanland, following upon a sudden heart attack, and 
students of natural history in the County, especially in the 
West Riding, deplore his loss. 
Known from sheer affection as ‘Jo,’ Mr. Beanland was 
associated with the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union for more 
than forty years and for many years was a member of the 
Executive. 
Born in Manningham, Bradford, in 1857, he entered the 
service of the firm of Sir Jacob Behrens at the age of 13, and 
until his death, 62 years later, he remained in that service, 
being finally in charge of a pattern -room and having earned 
the very high regard of his employers. 
A great walker and passionately fond of the country he 
was working with a group of enthusiastic naturalists as far 
back as 1878. 
In 1887 he joined the Bradford Naturalists at the same time 
as Messrs. H. B. Booth and Fred Rhodes. In this Society
