Abstract
MANY friends and admirers of the late Sir William Flower will be glad to know that a committee has been formed, with Lord Avebury as chairman, to secure the erection of a memorial to him. It is proposed that the memorial shall consist of a bust and a commemorative brass tablet to be placed in the Whale Room of the Natural History Museum—one of the departments in which he was most interested, and to which he devoted special care and attention. There should be a ready response to the invitation for subscriptions to carry out this scheme, for Sir William Flower's services to science are appreciated by every one interested in the extension of natural knowledge. The Natural History Museum ought not, indeed, to be without a memorial of the man who took such an active part in its development. Subscriptions (which must not exceed two guineas) should be paid to Dr. P. L. Sclater, treasurer of the Flower Memorial Fund, 3, Hanover Square, W.
