Scientific paper

OF the many scientific men who have fallen in the present war none calls forth a deeper note of regret than the eminent and promising French archæologist and anthropologist, M. Joseph Déchelette, who was killed while leading his company to attack on October 4, 1914. A committee, embracing all the leading archæologists and anthropologists of France, has been formed ``de conserver son effigie et de glorifier sa mémoire''. The committee has secured the co-operation of the sculptor, M. Henry Nocq, to prepare a portrait plaque with, on the reverse: ``L'épée moderne de l'héroïque capitaine s'y croisera, au travers d'une large couronne de lauriers, avec le glaive de la grande époque gauloise que l'archéologue a si bien fait revivre''. Nor can one abstain from quoting from the circular, which has been sent out by our colleagues in France, the following sentence:-``C'est l'unité d'une carrière riche d'œuvres, plus pleine encore de promesses, que rappellera la légende: GALLIAE • RELIQUIAS ILLUSTRAVIT • PRO • GALLIA • MILES • CECIDIT''.
