OBITUARY. 
We much regret to have to record the death of Mr. W. E. Duns, 
Professor of Cattle Pathology, Edinburgh Veterinary College. Mr. 
Duns’ appointment only dates back to the commencement of the 
session 1869-70. 
Shortly after his appointment to the professsor’s chair his health 
gave way, and he was finally compelled to relinquish his duties in 
January of the present yeari Mr. Duns stood deservedly high in 
the estimation of his colleagues, and his instructions were much 
appreciated by the pupils. He was only thirty years of age, and 
leaves a widow and three children, besides a long list of relatives and 
friends, to mourn his loss. 
We have also to record the death of Mr. James Bennett, 
M.R.C.V.S., Havering-atte-Bower, Essex. Mr. Bennett’s diploma 
bears date February 27th, 1839. 
ERRATUM. 
In our last number Mr. Littler’s name was erroneously printed 
“ Little.” See p. 182.
