 bert Druce (1846-1913, see the NEWS, xxiv, page 432), died

 Monograph of Bornean Lycacnidac (1895, 1896) and Neotrop- 

 ical L\caenidac (1907), both in the Proceedings of the Zoolog- 

 ical Society of London, which contain also a number of his

 specimens of Lycaenidae in the Berlin Museum, but he was, until forced 

 to give up on account of ill health, actively engaged in completing the
