  George 
  Brooks 
  was 
  elected 
  a 
  member 
  in 
  1913, 
  he 
  was 
  an 
  excellent 
  

   field 
  entomologist, 
  a 
  frequent 
  attendant 
  at 
  our 
  meetings, 
  and 
  a 
  

   member 
  of 
  Council 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  his 
  death. 
  

  

  C. 
  P. 
  Emmett, 
  who 
  had 
  been 
  a 
  member 
  since 
  1914, 
  was 
  killed 
  in 
  

   action. 
  

  

  Outside 
  our 
  own 
  ranks 
  but 
  familiar 
  to 
  many 
  of 
  you 
  I 
  must 
  

   mention 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  The 
  Rev. 
  Frank 
  E. 
  Lowe, 
  born 
  Nov. 
  27th, 
  1858, 
  died 
  July 
  21st, 
  

   1918, 
  at 
  St. 
  Stephen's 
  Vicarage, 
  Guernsey, 
  where 
  he 
  had 
  lived 
  since 
  

   1880. 
  Entomology 
  is 
  the 
  poorer 
  by 
  his 
  death, 
  and 
  he 
  did 
  much 
  to 
  

   add 
  to 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  Lepidoptera 
  of 
  the 
  Channel 
  Islands. 
  

  

  Gaston 
  Allard, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  doyens 
  of 
  the 
  Entomological 
  Society 
  of 
  

   France, 
  died 
  at 
  the 
  age 
  of 
  81, 
  at 
  La 
  Maulevrie, 
  near 
  Angers, 
  in 
  

   January, 
  1918 
  ; 
  he 
  made 
  a 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  Coleoptera 
  and 
  Orthoptera, 
  

   chiefly 
  from 
  Algeria, 
  and 
  was 
  engaged 
  on 
  the 
  fauna 
  of 
  that 
  country 
  

   with 
  M. 
  Rene 
  Oberthiir. 
  He 
  was 
  famous 
  as 
  a 
  dendrologist 
  and 
  as 
  

   a 
  founder 
  of 
  a 
  great 
  arboretum, 
  which 
  he 
  has 
  bequeathed 
  to 
  the 
  

   Pasteur 
  Institute 
  of 
  Paris. 
  

  

  W. 
  H. 
  Harwood 
  died 
  at 
  Sudbury, 
  SuiiblK, 
  on 
  December 
  24th, 
  

   1917. 
  Born 
  at 
  Colchester, 
  July 
  25th, 
  1840, 
  he 
  from 
  an 
  early 
  age 
  

   developed 
  a 
  taste 
  for 
  entomology, 
  and 
  he 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  

   adopt 
  the 
  method 
  of 
  " 
  sleeving 
  " 
  larvae 
  on 
  food-plants. 
  Of 
  late 
  

   years 
  he 
  had 
  studied 
  Coleoptera 
  and 
  Hymenoptera-aculeata, 
  and 
  

   the 
  "neglected 
  Orders 
  " 
  in 
  general. 
  

  

  The 
  war 
  has 
  naturally 
  curtailed 
  the 
  issue 
  of 
  new 
  works 
  on 
  

   Natural 
  History, 
  but 
  amongst 
  those 
  recently 
  published 
  a 
  few 
  may 
  be 
  

   mentioned. 
  

  

  "Memoir 
  of 
  the 
  Rev. 
  0. 
  P. 
  Cambridge, 
  F.R.S.," 
  a 
  small 
  

   volume, 
  by 
  his 
  son, 
  A. 
  W. 
  P. 
  Cambridge. 
  As 
  you 
  all 
  are 
  aware, 
  the 
  

   late 
  0. 
  P. 
  Cambridge 
  was 
  a 
  great 
  arachnologist, 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  his 
  

   best 
  known 
  works 
  is 
  the 
  " 
  Spiders 
  of 
  Dorset," 
  in 
  which 
  were 
  

   described 
  about 
  500 
  species 
  ; 
  he 
  also 
  worked 
  out 
  the 
  spiders 
  for 
  

   Godman 
  and 
  Salvin's, 
  " 
  Biologia 
  Centrali 
  Americana," 
  and 
  for 
  the 
  

   Yarkand 
  Mission. 
  

  

  The 
  "

  of

  by 
  J. 
  H. 
  Fabre, 
  translated 
  by 
  A. 
  T. 
  

   de 
  Mattos 
  and 
  B. 
  Miall 
  is 
  another 
  of 
  this 
  fascinating 
  writer's 
  works. 
  

  

  " 
  l^tudes 
  de 
  Lopidopterologie 
  Comparee," 
  fasc. 
  xiv.,by 
  C. 
  Oberthiir, 
  

   with 
  pp. 
  469, 
  and 
  19 
  col. 
  plates, 
  dated 
  September, 
  1917. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  

   wonderful 
  publication, 
  not 
  merely 
  for 
  the 
  magnificence 
  of 
  the 
  plates, 
  

   and 
  the 
  scientific 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  contents, 
  but 
  because 
  in 
  this 
  fourth 
  

   year 
  of 
  the 
  war, 
  such 
  an 
  addition 
  to 
  our 
  libraries 
  is 
  possible 
  at 
  all.
