OBITUARY. 



JULES DESBROCHERS DES LOGES, French Coleopterist, editor of 

 Le Frelon (Chateauroux), died on August 10, 1913, at Tours 

 in his 78th year. 



The numbers of The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine and 

 The Entomologist for October, 1913, contain obituary notices 

 (the former accompanied by a portrait) of ODO MORANNAL 

 REUTER, the distinguished Finnish entomologist, and. since 

 1906, one of the twelve honorary fellows of the Entomological 

 Society of London. He died at Abo, on September 2, aged 

 63. Like our own Uhler, he was totally blind in his later years. 

 No less than 500 papers on Hemiptera (chiefly), Collembola, 

 Thysanoptera and Neuroptera have issued from his pen. His 

 work on the Miridae (Capsidae) and a new classification of 

 the Heteroptera are especially important. He was a member 

 of the zoological faculty of the University of Helsingfors. 

 He had also published both poetry and fiction.
