LANDIS.-On the 10th of June, 1898, at Stony Brook, York Co., Pa., Sister Susanna Landis, aged 68 years, 4 months and 28 days. Sister Landis started to walk to the cemetery at York. She was taken into an open buggy by Emanuel Landis, a relative of hers. In crossing the Southern Railroad at the city of York the front axle broke, the vehicle fell to the ground, and frightened the horse, whereupon he commenced to kick viciously and happened to hit Sister Landis on the back of her head, fracturing her skull. She lived from about 8 A. M. until 2 P. M., when death relieved her of her sufferings. Sister Landis was a good and kind Christian mother, a devoted and faithful member of the Mennonite Church.

"The first serious field anthropological studies [in the South Pacific] were those carried out by Makluklio-Maklai (1846-1888) to New Guinea in 1871 and by the zoological expedition to the Torres Straits and New Guinea in 1898-99 in which A.C. Haddon (1855-1940) and W.H.R. Rivers (1864-1922) took part." (J.D. Bernal, Science in History, 1954: 746)
