72 THE entomologist's record. 



Dr. Buckell's timely suggestion in the Etit. Rec. (vol. vi., p. 258) for the 

 adoption of the superfamily termination " ides " has been utilised. 



Messrs. Friedlilnder and Sohn, Berlin, N.W., Carlstrasse 11, are 

 publishing an International Zoologists' Directory. It is edited by the 

 German Zoological Society, will consist of 7-10 pp., and contain 12,000 

 names and addresses. The publishers ask for the names of British 

 zoologists, entomologists, and naturalists generally, to add to the 

 work. The subscription is 10s. In England, Messrs. Swann & Co., 

 Bouverie Street, E.G., are publishing a more modest directory, 

 although on similar lines. The cost of this is nominal, 6d. 



William Henry Tugwell — -Born February 21st, 1831, Died 

 September 20th, 1895. — Our readers will hear with the greatest 

 regret of the decease of Mr. W. H. Tugwell, who succumbed, after a 

 long and painful illness, on September 20th. To a very large number 

 of entomologists this will be a great personal loss. For more than 

 forty years Mr. Tugwell has been a keen collector of British Lepidop- 

 tera, and during the last twelve years he has been a most active and 

 prominent member of the South London Entomological Society. 

 For almost the whole of the latter period he has been a member of the 

 Council ; on several occasions he was vice-president, and in 1891 

 president of this well-known and important society. Only when his 

 serious illness confined him to the house and compelled his absence, 

 did he cease his close connection with the society, and even then his 

 old activity repeatedly manifested itself in the exhibition of any 

 recently-acquired entomological specimens which interested him, and 

 which he thought would interest his fellow-members and old com- 

 panions. An excellent type of the sturdy, self-willed Englishman, he 

 was most conservative in his predilections, and he was no friend to 

 the newer entomology, which he never attempted to understand. At 

 the same time he was thoroughly imbued to the last with a whole- 

 souled love of natvire in the woods and fields. Not only was he a keen 

 and earnest collector of lepidoptera, but also a field botanist of con- 

 siderable merit. He has left no scientific work behind him save the 

 life-histories of a few of the insects he so dearly loved ; but by his 

 death England has lost a true-hearted man, and many of us have lost 

 an esteemed friend. 



Ma,jor J. N. Still. — It is also with the greatest regret that we 

 announce the death of this well-known lepidopterist. His decease 

 occurred on the golf-links, when he was in the act of striking the ball, 

 and liis sudden death will come as a great shock to a very large circle 

 of entomological correspondents and friends. 



Professor C. V. Riley. — Entomological science has lost one of its 

 foremost workers by the untimely death of Professor Riley, who was 

 killed by a fall from his velocipede. As an old Surrey boy he 

 was always interested in British entomologists, and never failed to 

 attend the meetings of the Entomological Society of London when in 

 England. So late as June last he was over here, and took part in the 

 discussions at the meeting held on June 5th. Of his vast work it 

 would be impossible to give even a short it'sume [the titles of the 

 papers (above 2,500) alone would fill a number of this magazine] , but 

 it remains a fitting monument to his great ability and industry.
