Three years ago Heinrich Kiihn came to Europe, visiting his aged mother 

 in Germany, staying for a week in Tring, and at last marrying an English lady 

 in Loudon. He went out again to the sunny East, full of plans for future 

 explorations. A tragic fate, however, carried him off at a comparatively early 

 age. He, who had successfully and unflinchingly faced and resisted the dangerous 

 climate of New Guinea, Wetter, and other places, and hostile native tribes, was 

 attacked by a cancerous growth and succumbed to this treacherous disease in 

 the hospital at Soerabaya on July 26th, 1906. 



We have lost in Kiihn a pleasant correspondent, and science one of its devoted 

 followers, who would have done more valuable service to our beloved science had 

 he lived longer. 



GEORGE RICHARD OCKENDEN. 



Another serious loss is the death of George Richard Ockenden, who died 

 during an expedition in the Andes of Peru. 



George Richard Ockenden was born at Brighton on March 25th, 1868. In 

 1900 he made an arrangement with Mr. \V. F. H. Rosenberg, of Loudon, to 

 undertake an expedition to Peru for the purpose of collecting zoological specimens. 

 Mr. Ockenden was one of the most painstaking and conscientious collectors, and 

 one of the most successful hunters of moths who ever collected in tropical countries. 

 The sight of his collections of moths, as they arrived by many thousands from 

 Santo Domingo and other places in S.E. Pern, in the most perfect condition,
