v'siting' tlie Leigh "Woods in poarcli of Dintera, tlie Order to wliicli he had 

 given his recent attention. ]Mr. iludd becunie a Fellow of the Entomological 

 Society in 18G5, and in that and following years made several contributions to 

 the " Entomologists' Monthly Majiazine." Atone time he made a fine collec- 

 tion of British and Exotic Cok-optera, but transferred many to his friend, the 

 late Mr. Stephen Barton, and presented others to the British Museum, to 

 which he was always a generous donor. He became a member of the British 

 Naturalists' Society at its foundation in 1864, and joined its earliest Section, 

 the Entomological, in the same year. He was the author of the very complete 

 " Catalogue of the Lejndoptera of the Bristol District," which appeared in the 

 Society's Proceedings between 1877 and 1884; also of the articles on the En- 

 tomology of the district published on the visits of the British Association to 

 Bristol in 1875 and 1898. He assisted Messrs. Hellins and Buckler in working 

 out the life-history of British Lepidoptera for their work " The Larvae of 

 British Butterflies and Mdths,"' published by the Bay Society. Mr. Iludd also 

 edited the "List of the Lepidoptera of Somerset " for the " Victoria County 

 History" in 1903, and since that date has added numerous species of Diptera 

 fi)r that county in the notes published by Mr. H. I. Charbonnier in the 

 " Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society." 

 On the occasion of the Bristol Naturalists' Society's Jubilee in 1914 Mr. Hudd 

 published, jointly with the writer, an article entitled "Fifty years' Entomology 

 in Hiistiil," which appeared in the Society's " Proceedings." 



But to refer to Mr. Tludd's work as an Entomologist only, would be to 

 overlook not one field alone but many, in which he equally excelled. He was 

 the founder of the Clifton Antiquarian Club, and after this came to an end he 

 transferred his interest to the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological 

 Society, of which he was Vice-Prefident and member of Council. He was 

 also a Fellow of the Society of Antiquarians and of the Royal Archaeological 

 Institute. Egyptology, too, was a fascination to him. He was a member of 

 the Committee which control a great portion of Leigh Woods for the National 

 Trust, and took great interest in the excavation of part of the ramparts of the 

 Ilomauo-British Camp of Stokeleigh. Surely this was a remarkable man, 

 whom the writer of this notice is proud to have known for fifty years and 

 whom ho will never forget. — G. C. Griffiths.
