point out how all this has become changed. In this country the progress has cul- 

 minated in the appearance of the 1st volume of Mr. Newstead's Monograph now 

 before us. No one could have been found better able to undertake this task. Com- 

 paratively young, enthusiastic and conscientious, laborious and nearly wholly self 

 taught, he has also the advantage that in early life he occupied the position of a 

 practical horticulturist, for almost any work on Coccidm appeals nearly equally to 

 the entomologist and the horticulturist. Most of the plates, except those wholly 

 devoted to details, are coloured. Mr. Newstead's method of working is well known 

 to our readers and needs no explanation, but we must draw attention especially to 

 two economical subjects here treated upon, viz., the destruction of Coccidce by birds, 

 and their destruction or control by various insecticides. This work should be 

 widely circulated ; vol. ii should be even more interesting, inasmuch as it will deal 

 largely with the forms secreting a cottony coating. — R. McL.

Henry Wyndham Vivian, M.A., F.E.S., of Grlenafon, Port Talbot, Glamorgan- 

 shire, died at Ste Cecile, Belgium, on November 17th, 1901, aged 33, having been 

 born in 1868. He was the eldest son of Mr. A. Pendarves Vivian by his first wife, 

 Lady Augusta Emily, daughter of the third Earl of Dunraven, and married in 

 January, 1899, Lady Maude Clements, daughter of the fourth Earl of Leitrim, who, 

 with his one daughter, survives him. lie was educated at Eton and Cambridge, 

 were he graduated in honours, was a J. P. for the County of Glamorgan, and a Major 

 in the 2nd Volunteer Battalion of the Welsh Regiment. 



One of the most amiable men whom it has been the writer's good fortune to 

 have as a friend ; he was exceptionally clever and intelligent, and his loss is deeply 

 deplored by his relatives and all who knew him intimately. Like many other good 

 Entomologists who have not left much record of themselves in print, he studied his 

 favourite subjects more for the sake of the pleasure and interest which they afforded 

 him than witli a view to publication of any sort. It is from this cause, and not from 

 any lack of knowledge or ability, that his published writings, which are scattered 

 through the Ent. Mo. Mag. and other Magazines, are not more numerous. What 

 there is, is good. His energy in collecting was inexhaustible, and was not infre- 

 quently too much for his health, which was never very strong. In spite of his 

 height of 6 ft. 4 in., he was remarkably active and sure-footed, and in a rough and 

 rocky place like Portland there were few who could keep up with him. 



His collection of Macro-Lepidoptera contains many rarities and fine series, and 

 will probably be presented to some Museum. He was very fond of all branches of 

 Natural History, and in the last few years took a fine series of beautiful photographs 

 of birds' nests and eggs in many localities, which deserve publication. 



He had suffered for many months from a lingering illness, which incapacitated 

 him from all his favourite pursuits, but which he bore with the utmost patience and 

 cheerfulness. He went abroad for his health last May, and had seemed to get 

 better, but the end came somewhat suddenly. He joined the Entomological Society 

 of London in 1889. — N. M. Richardson.
