Members will be sorry to hear of the death of Mr. J Marten, 
announced to the Secretary by Mr. Marten’s friend Mr. VV. R. 
Jeffrey, in whose letter to Mr. Dixon are the following words: — 
“ All Mr. Marten’s work had to be done in his wheel-chair, across 
the arms of which he had a board for manipulating on—to add to 
his infirmity, he was very deaf. But the brightness of his intellect 
and unusual energy were evidenced by the way in which he took 
up and studied mosses some seven years ago, and no doubt the 
pursuit was a great solace to him under such sore affliction.” 
Mr. Marten left some mosses prepared for the present distribu¬ 
tion, and the return parcel has been sent to Mr. Jeffrey.
