NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD. The repent elec- tion of Mr. John Burdon Sanderron Haldane to an ordinary Fellowship at New College induces me to note the remarkable fact of a father and son being both Fellows of the same College. Mr. J. B. S. Haldane was a scholar of New College, and took a first class in Mathematical Moderations in 1912, and a first class in Classics (Finals) in 1914. Dr. John Scott Haldane's career need not be set out. I am not aware of any similar instances, but possibly readers can supply them. Incidentally, as an odd sequence of names, New College possesses an Abraham (an undergraduate), a Joseph (the well-known bursar), and a Jacob (a scholar) a most interesting series.

OBSERVER.

LITTLE MONTAGUE COURT, LITTLE BRITAIN. The clearance of this survival of olden London is impending, and it has certain features of interest worth recording before its site is obliterated by a modern building. The name celebrates the man- sion of Lord Montague that originally occupied the east side of Little Britain. The adjoining Cox's Court was prior to July, 1899, Montague Place.

Most noticeable are the irregular shape and successive angles on its southern side,


 * Port, tutenaga, spelter.
