in 1884, passed away on the 1st of March, at the age of 68 years. 

 His business interests in Montreal prevented his regular attendance 

 at our meetings, but while at home in this country he usually 

 attended both the field and ordinary meetings, and was a frequent 

 contributor to the Publications Fund. His generous bequest to 

 this Society of the sum of two hundred pounds is a substantial 

 memorial to his sympathy with its work and undertakings. 



Vincent Egbert Perkins died on April 3rd, at the advanced age 

 of 91 years, at his residence in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucester- 

 shire. A naturalist with a wide range oi interests, and an enthu- 

 siastic collector from his boyhood, he was, in his latter years chiefly 

 attracted towards the Aculeate Hymenoptera, among which he 

 added to the British list the species Crahro (jonaijef. He was F.E.S. 

 until within a few years of his decease, and a member with us from 

 1880 to 1921. 



Gilbert Storey, P.E.S., who joined us in 1913, passed away at 

 the early age of 31 years, in Egypt, on April 5th. An entomologist 

 of great promise, he received an appointment in the Entomological 

 Section of the Ministry of Agriculture in Egypt, and at the time of 

 his decease was engaged as Technical Secretarj^ to the Cotton 

 Research Board. 



Henry Rowland-Brown, M.A., F.E.S., who died May 3rd, was 

 elected a member of this Society in 1904. His extensive knowledge 

 of European butterflies was largely acquired during his frequent 

 excursions to various continental countries. He will be well 

 remembered by many of our members as one of the secretaries 

 during many years of the Entomological Society of London. 



Arthur Horne, who had been a member of this Society since 

 1889, died in September last, at the age of 60 years. The distance 

 of his residence in Aberdeen from London prevented his attendance 

 at our meetings. He possessed a collection of British Lepidoptera 

 considered to be one of the finest in the country. It was remarkable 

 for its varieties, and included long series of various individual 

 species from all parts of the British Isles. 



H. H. Druce, who died in Septenber last, was also for a short 

 time a member with us. Among the numerous monographs and 

 papers from his pen, his work on the Li/caenidae remains preemi-

 are now in the Hill Museum, Witley.
