On Halocercus pingi n. sp. a Lung-Worm from the Porpoise, Neomeris phocoenoides

Since Baylis and Daubney's paper appeared in 1925, no new species has been added to the genus Halocercus. These authors mentioned three species none of which resembles the animal I am describing. I therefore establish a new species which I have the pleasure of naming after Professor C. Ping, Director of the Biological Laboratory, Science Society of China, Nanking, and also Professor of Zoology at this University. The genus Halocercus Baylis and Daubney, 1925, is well described in Yorke and Maplestone (1926).

Obituaries

SWEDISH zoology has sustained a serious loss in the death of Prof. Nils Johan Teodor Odhner, which occurred at Stockholm on Oct. 29, 1928. Prof. Odhner was born at Lund in 1879. Graduating at the University of Uppsala, he became lecturer in zoology at that University. In 1914 he was nominated as professor of zoology in the University of Oslo (Norway), and four years later he became Intendant of the department of invertebrates in the State Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Prof. Odhner's zoological work consists principally of systematic and faunistic papers on the Trematoda, upon which group of animals he had been for many years a leading authority, He also devoted some time to the study of certain groups of Crustacea. His activities were not, however, confined to zoological research. His wide social interests and energetic contribution to the intellectual life of his country are manifested by the various official positions which he occupied—as a delegate to the League of Nations, president of the Sweden-Finland Foundation, and vice-secretary of the Swedish Academy of Science. As a speaker and writer he contributed much to the popularisation of his own branch of science.

Obituaries

NOTICES on the life of Dr. Carl H. Eigenmann, by David Starr Jordan and Fcrriandus Payne, in Science, vol. 65, No. 1691, give good accounts of the work of this eminent ichthyologist, able teacher, and indefatigable explorer, who died on April 24 last. A student under Prof. Starr Jordan, he succeeded him in 1891 as professor of zoology in Indiana University, and in 1908 was made dean. For some years he was curator of fishes in the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg, and in 1895 he established a fresh-water biological station in Northern Indiana, of which he was director up to a few years before his death. One of his most important works is on the blind cave fishes of North America, and for the purpose of collecting material for this study he made expeditions to the cave regions of Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas, and Cuba, and for the detailed exploration of the fish fauna of the Amazon and other Brazilian rivers he made four trips to South America, besides sending students on other expeditions. In all, 195 new genera, containing about 600 species, were defined by Eigenmann and his colleagues, and his technical papers number upwards of 170. It is an interesting fact that Dr. Eigenmann entered the university as a student in Latin, but most fortunately it was not too late to change when in his second year he discovered that his tastes were zoological rather than classical.

Prof. E. H. Rennie

DR. E. H. RENNIE, whose death in South Australia was recently announced, was for more than forty years professor of chemistry in the University of Adelaide. Born on Aug. 19, 1852, he was the son of E. A. Rennie, Auditor-General of New South Wales, and grandson of James Rennie, who was professor of zoology at King's College, London, 1830-1834. His school days were spent in Sydney, and he graduated at the University of Sydney in 1870. For a few years he taught in the Sydney and Brisbane Grammar Schools, and in 1877 came to London to study chemistry. He obtained his doctor's degree in the University of London in 1881. While in London he was assistant for two years to Dr. C. R. Alder Wright in the Chemical Department of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, and also taught occasionally in the Royal College of Science. On his return to Australia he found employment in the Government Analyst's Department in Sydney. In 1885 he was appointed Angus professor of chemistry in the University of Adelaide, in which capacity he rendered fine service.

Prof. F. W. Gamble, F.R.S

A DISTINGUISHED English zoologist, a remarkably fine teacher and a man of a singular charm of character, has been lost to science by the death, on September 14, of Prof. Frederick William Gamble, Mason professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in the University of Birmingham. He was born in Manchester on July 13, 1869, and was educated at the Manchester Grammar School and at the Owens College. At the College he came under the influence of the late Prof. A. Milnes Marshall, and catching his enthusiasm for the study of animal morphology, devoted himself to zoological studies. After taking his degree with first-class honours in the newly established Victoria University and gaining the Bishop Berkeley research fellowship, he went abroad and studied for a time in the University of Leipzig. The first two papers from his pen, one on our rare British Nudibranchs, published in 1892, and the other on the British marine Turbellaria, published in 1893, were descriptive and systematic in character, but already they showed evidence of the tendency of his mind towards the experimental side of the subject.
