DR. G. A. C. HERKLOT'S INTERESTING LECTURE.
VISIT TO STRANGE VOLCANIC
ISLANDS...
Lecturing at Helena May Institute yesterday, on the Island of 'Java, Dr. G. A. C. Herklots, Reader in Biology at the University, said:--
I am a new-comer to the Far East, although as it happens I was born in the East in India, and my knowledge of Java is limited to the impressions I received during one month's brief sojourn in that island this last summer. I am, therefore, only giving my impressions and am not attempting to make authorita- tive stateinenta.
The Pacific Science Conference, During the summer that has just passed the triennial meeting, the ith, of the Pacific Science Confer- ence was held in Jara. My friend Mr. A. H. Crook represented the Government of Hong Kong at this conference and I the University. I WAS fortunate în travelling to Batavia early in May in the com- pany nf A group of American Scientists bound for the Conference, Bo I was able to make a few friends" before arriving in the beautiful jaland of Java.

The coroner: What happened?

She could not steer it round the corner. I rode after her, but could not say anything. I was
