OBITUARY. 257 



a great book-lover, taking pleasure chiefly in scientific and standard 

 works ; while, at the same time, he was an ardent lover of nature 

 in its various phases, pursuing his hobbies of entomology and 

 botany Avithin the limits of his native county, Herefordshire. Pos- 

 sessed of untiring energy and activity, he was a bold and accomplished 

 horseman, and his prowess in the hunting field will long be remem- 

 bered — but entomology was his great study, chiefly the branches of the 

 Diptera and Micro-lepidoptera. His researches among these tiny 

 insects required the use of lenses of considerable power, and have been 

 the means of adding largely to the discoveries in that branch of the 

 science. Men in various parts of Europe, eminent in this study, were 

 in frequent correspondence with him, when his slight knowledge of 

 German and French was put to the test. 



By his investigations in the county of Hereford large numbers of 

 insects, previously unknown to science, have been discovered ; and he 

 leaves a most beautifully set up collection, which he has bequeathed to 

 the Woolhope Naturalists' Club, to be preserved at the Hereford 

 Museum.
