mental  departments  and  other  scientific  and  technical  organizations 
which  are  likewise  interested  in  these  problems,  will  doubtless  prove 
of  great  value. 
The  secretarial  and  editorial  work  of  the  book  is  fully  in  keep- 
ing with  the  high  class  of  its  contents.  What  is  equally  evident 
throughout  the  "  Proceedings  "  is  the  prospects  for  the  continuation 
of  the  many  good  works  that  have  been  so  auspiciously  inaugurated. 
We  extend  our  hearty  congratulations  and  shall  anticipate  the  pleas- 
ure of  noting  many  more  yearly  proceedings  indicative  of  the  same 
spirit  and  progress  shown  in  the  present  volume.

South  Wales  and  Director  of  the  Botanic  Gardens,  Sydney. 
Vol.  IV,  Part  5. 
It  has  been  our  privilege  to  note  from  time  to  time  in  these 
pages,  the  appearance  of  the  parts  of  this  elaborate  monographic 
study  of  the  Eucalypti.  The  Part  XXXV  of  the  complete  work, 
that  is  now  in  hand,  deals  in  the  approved  style  adopted  for  this 
monograph  with  the  following  species  :  Encalpytus  Lehmanni  Preiss., 
E.  annulata  Benth.,  E.  platypus  Hooker.,  E.  spathulata  Hooker.,  E. 
gamophylla  F.  v.  M.,  E.  argillacea  W.  V.  Fitzgerald. 
The  four  lithographic  plates  illustrating  the  text  of  this  part 
are  of  the  same  excellent  quality  as  has  been  shown  throughout 
the  monograph.

JOHN  C.  GALLAGHER. 
When  John  C.  Gallagher  died  in  Jersey  City  on  October  2,  1918, 
the  retail  drug  trade  lost  one  of  its  most  enthusiastic  and  efficient 
workers. 
The  deceased  was  born  in  Brooklyn,  November  4,  1861.  After 
attending  the  public  schools  and  St.  John's  College  in  Brooklyn  he 
entered  the  employ  of  T.  C.  Prevost.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
class  of  1882  in  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City  of  New  York.
