these Natal Reports Mr. Fuller described the life history of 

 the maize stalk-borer, Calamistis fusca. 



The credit for the system of destroying locusts under State 

 control, as practised at the present time, must be given to Mr. 

 Fuller, who put forward he fundamental principles of this 

 very successful scheme. 



Mr. Fuller also worked on problems of distinct importance to 

 horticulturists, such as those connected with citrus fruit and 

 pineapples. 



In addition to the numerous official publications mentioned 

 previously, Mr. Fuller has published valuable memoirs on th^ 

 Coccidae and Termitidae. Among these may be mentioned: — 



(1) ** The Coccidae of West Australia." Trans. Ent. Socc

(2) "White Ants in Natal." Bulletin 54, Union of S.A. 

 Dept. of Agriculture. 



(3) *' Observations on some S.A. Termites." Annals Natal

(4) *' The Wing Venation and Respiratory System of certain 

 S.A. Termites." Annals Natal Museum. Vol. IV.

 All articles published by him were most ably illustrated by 

 himself with rare skill, accuracy and taste. How much work of 

 a painstaking nature the illustrations of his '* The wing- 

 venation and respiratory system of certain S.A. termites " in- 

 volved, will only be realised by those who watched him during
