44 THE entomologist's uecord. 



Mr. H. S. Fremlin, F.E.S., is engaged under the military 

 authorities in training sanitary officials to attend the expeditionary 

 force in France. Some hundreds have already passed through his 

 hands. He recently received his promotion to Major. 



Lieutenant H. F. Stoneham, F.E.S., has recently come home 

 wounded, but is, we hear, rapidly recovering. 



Dr. Malcolm Burr has recently accepted an appointment in Russia, 

 where he has numerous friends. His knowledge of the Russian 

 language will be of great service to him when he takes up his duties 

 there. The British Museum (Natural History) has acquired Dr. 

 Burr's well-known and rich collection of the Dermaptera. There are 

 somewhere about 120 or more type specimens and a large number of 

 CO- types. The whole collection contains a gross total of some 800 

 species and is a valuable addition to the South Kensington Museum. 



We understand that arrangements have been made by the 

 Lepidoptera Committee of the London Natural History Society for a 

 member of the Committee to attend at Salisbury House at 6.30p.m. on 

 meeting nights (1st and 3rd Tuesdays in each month, except July and 

 August) for the purpose of giving advice and assistance to young 

 entomologists, whether members of the Society or not. 



The " Verrall " Supper took place on January 19th at the Holborn 

 Restaurant as usual. Some hundred guests assembled from 6.30 

 onward in the " Entomological Salon," and old friends met old friends, 

 and new friends were welcomed in the conversazione which preceded 

 the repast. Shortly after eight o'clock supper was served. Among 

 those who were present were the following : —
