MISCELLANEA. 
At a meeting of the Council of the Royal College of Sur¬ 
geons, held on December 19 th, Mr. W. Henry Flower, 
F.R.C.S., Assistant-Surgeon to the Middlesex Hospital, was 
elected Conservator of the Hunterian Museum, vacant by the 
decease of the late lamented Professor John Quekett. The 
Lancet, in referring to this appointment, says that “ Mr. 
Flower's qualifications are of a very high character, and there 
can be no doubt that this choice will be in all respects 
approved by the profession. His services to the museum of 
the hospital with which he is connected, and his contri¬ 
butions to zoological and anatomical science, are so many 
valuable testimonies to his good will, and excellent capacity 
for the office/' 
OBITUARY. 
We have been informed of the death, at Lahore, of 
Robert Moorhead, Veterinary Surgeon of the late 5th Euro¬ 
pean Cavalry there, now Light Dragoon Depot. His demise 
took place on the 10th of October last. He obtained his 
diploma May 28th, 1851. 
Also of the death, on December l6th,at Newcastle-on-Tyne, 
of George Westropp, M.R.C.V.S. His diploma bears date 
May 15th, 1850. 
Thus death continues its dreaded work among us. While 
there is nothing so uncertain as life, there is also nothing 
so certain as death. One and another go before us, and 
yet the world standeth not still, all things continue as they 
were at the beginning. 'Tis well— 
“ There is a calm for those that weep, 
A rest for weary pilgrims found.”
