Abstract
WE regret to announce that Gerard Kalshoven Gude, the authority on tropical land mollusca, died on. November 8. Born in 1858, he was of Dutch parentage. Acting as secretary to Messrs. Veitch of Chelsea in earlier years, he had for several decades devoted himself to the study of land mollusca, contributing a volume on that subject to the “Fauna of British India.” Mr. Gude also studied and arranged the important series of Tertiary land and freshwater shells of Europe for the Geological Department of the British Museum. A constant visitor to the Museum, his information was freely at the service of his colleagues, by whom he was greatly esteemed. He had been secretary and president of the Malacological Society of London.
