o speak as men speak, we have lost one whom we can very ill spare, a true man, a true Priest and a brother. To Mrs. Paterson and family we tender our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. W.T.P. THE LATE CAPT. GILBERT KENNEDY. With much regret we record the death of this officer, in hospital at Calais, from heart failure following an attack of influenza. He commenced his military career in the Indian army, being attached to the Gurkha Rifles. About 1912 he transferred to the English army, and served throughout the war, being wounded in the foot in the Somme push of 1917. He was inactive service up to the time of his death. He was a keen aviculturist and bird-lover, and an enthusiastic observer of wild bird-life. He was an ardent supporter of F.B.C. and its Journal, and will be much missed. A personal friend of the writers, and another, among many, whose voce and pen the war has silenced for ever. To his mother, wife, and family we tender our sincere sympathy in their great sorrow. W.T.P.

The room as admirably adapted for the purpose, and being fitted with a H.W. radiator a comfortable temperature can l)e maintained irrespective of the weather. There was also a cage in the win
