excellent spirits and earthy humor had, therefore, an almost inspirational effect on his colleagues. Dr. Bishop had an unusually large circle of close friends by whom he was extremely well liked. The number of his more casual acquaintances was small, in association with his retiring nature and his reticence when in the company of comparative strangers. Something of Sherman Bishop's love of science and of nature and of his native Finger Lakes Region was caught by his friend, H. P. Crisp, for his attractive book plate. Herpetologists will grieve over the loss of an outstanding specialist on the salamander group. He was a charter member of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. The greater loss is that of a real naturalist in the best tradition. Dr. Bishop knew the flowers and trees; he knew the insects and arachnids; he knew the fishes and the reptiles; he knew the amphibians. He not only knew what kinds there were and how each kind lived, but he also appreciated how they lived with each other. He was a great naturalist. There are very few left. In the death of Sherman Bishop we have suffered a great loss.-ARNOLD B. GROBMAN, Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.
