Laboratory tests show that peat can absorb ten times asmuch protein as carbon and that in a relatively short time morethan 95% of the effluent surfactants present are absorbed. The useof' peat to absorb oil sp:ead over large water areas is also being{'xamined as it is known that peat can absorb 8 to 12 times itsweight in oil. Industrial filtration tests are being carried out at apaper and pulp works, where a small pilot plant has been built tof;tudy the use of peat moss in .the treatment of the plant's wastewaters by a filtration process. Peat, when heated under pressure, istransformed to a hard plastic. Thus, 'peat boards' havingmechanical properties similar to other laminates could be apossible use in the construction industry. Other uses are still underinvestigation.

ObituaryANTHONY M. S. HANAN(1923---1972)The sudden and unexpected death ofMr. A. M. S. Hanan on Easter Saturday1972 at the early age of forty eight hasdeprived not only the Forest and WildlifeService but, it can be said, the countryas a whole of its foremost arboricul·turist and of the benefits that would haveflowed from his great knowledge of treesand his vast influenCe in his field.In his eight years as head of the JohnF. Kennedy Park in Co. Wexford Mr.Hanan, by his knowledge, dedicationand ceaseless endeavour was the mainforce in creating from 400 acres of farmlandon the slopes of Slieve Coillte, an arboretem and forest parkof world ' sta'ndards which is already something of which OUfcountry can be proud. This was his great achievement and willstand permanently as a memorial to him.Tony Hanan took his forestry degree from T.C.D. in 1949 andworked jn private forestry for the next three years. It was at thattime that he showed his aptitude and talent for dendrology andtaxonomy and did valuable work at the well known arboretumat Powerscourt. He entered the Forestry Service in 1952 andworked at Shelton for two years. He served as a land acquisitioninspector before joining the newly founded Research Branch in1957 to work on the 1958 Census of Woodlands. Later asSectional head he was responsible for studies in tree species andtimber technology.Late in 1963 the Irish Government established a forest park andarboretum near the Kennedy ancestral home at New Ross, to thememory of President Kennedy, with financial assistance andencouragement from Irish American Societies. The aim was toprovide a ~cientifically based collection of tree species and shrubsfrom alI over the world. An inter.departmental comm.ittee wasset up to guide the proiect and Mr. H~nan was put in charge ofthe operation. Starting from scratch and facing divers new andurgent challenges Mr. Hanan showed great versatility and skil1and brou!!ht great credit on himself and his profession. He provedparticularlv skilful and sensitive on landscape and amenHyaspects of the work. He had the satisfaction of seeing the Park
