We regret to note the death, at the age of 83, of Professor E. Suess, 
the geologist. 
The Journal of the Board of Agriculture for April contains a short note 
on ‘ Millepedes and Centipedes.’ 
We regret to note the death of Mr. George Sharman, who for many 
years was Palaeontologist to the Geological Survey, at the age of 82. 
The Scottish Naturalist for May has an interesting account of some 
early references to four-horned sheep in Scotland, by Dr. J. Ritchie. 
We much regret to record the death of a Past-President of the York- 
shire Naturalists’ Union, Mr. Wm. West. F.L.S., of Bradford. A notice 
will appear in our next issue. 
We note the death of Mr. George Bentley Corbin, who, about 1866, 
conducted the Amateur Naturalist , a manuscript magazine dealing 
chiefly with insect life. We should like to see a copy of this journal. 
Mr. C. Crossland, who has been for 30 years an ordinary member of 
the Halifax Scientific Society, was elected an honorary life member at its 
recent general meeting. We should like to congratulate Mr. Crossland 
on the deserved honour. 
Besides a record of the field meetings of 1913, by Dr. J. W. Ellis, which 
is largely botanical, and the annual report for the same year, the Pro- 
ceedings of the Liverpool Naturalists’ Field Club, recently issued, contains 
Part 3 of Dr. Ellis’ ‘ Wirral Fungi,’ which deals with the Ascomycetes. 
The Saga-Book of the Viking Club, Vol. 8, Part 1, has recently been 
issued, and contains an account of the meetings during 1912. Among the 
articles is one by Mr. D. Stedman on ‘ Some Points of Resemblance 
between Beowulf and the Grettla (or Grettis Saga).’ Dr. G. Schiitte 
writes on the ‘ Cult of Nerthus.’ The President (Mr. W. F. Kirby) 
writes on ‘ the Voluspa, the Sibyl’s Lay in the Edda of SEemund ’ 
Mr. A. W. Taylor on ‘ St. Bridget, of Sweden,’ and Mr. F. P. Marchant, 
‘ The Vikings and the Wends.’ Altogether the volume is a most creditable 
record. 
The British [Museum (Natural History) has issued a Report on Cetacea 
stranded on the British Coast during 1913, which has been prepared by 
Dr. S. F. Harmer (12 pp. is. 6d.). It apparently contains a record of the 
whole of the cetacea stranded on the shores of the British Isles during 
the year, and the various occurrences can be seen at a glance on the three 
maps which accompany the memoir. The greatest number of records seems 
to be on the east and south coast of England. The report has some valu- 
able information as to the connection between the cetacea and the sharks 
to the shoals of herrings, etc. Apparently Lincolnshire and Yorkshire have 
a fair share of records to their credit. Northumberland and Lancashire 
have two each.
