CHARLES GOLDING BARRETT. 



Following all too closely on the demise of our late 

 much-regretted Editor-in-Chief, comes the news of the death 

 of our greatly valued Colleague, C. G. Barrett, which took 

 place on December nth, 1904, after a somewhat prolonged 

 period of failing health, at the age of 68 years. 



This brief announcement, which we ask our readers to 

 accept until a full obituary notice can be given in our next 

 No., will, we feel assured, be received with sincere regret by 

 all British Entomologists, and especially by the students of 

 the Order Lepidoptera, to whom Mr. Barrett's name is as a 

 " household word." His fellow Editors deeply regret the 

 necessity of commencing the new volume of this Magazine 

 with the announcement of so sad a loss to their number.
