A male and female Cimbe.v sylvarmn have emerged from two cocoons 

 i-emaining over from 1917 larvae, being thus two years in cocoon, not in pupa, 

 as one would say of most Lepidoptera, since they pass the winter in the 

 cocoons not as pupae but as larvae. A specimen of Crofsus latipes has also 

 emerged after being two years in cocoon. — T. A. Chapman : May 16th, 1919, 



Taeniorhynchus richiardii Fie. : a correction. — In the Ent. Mo. Mag. for 

 April last (pp. 83-8S), Mr. F. W. Edwards has given an account on the 

 development of Taeniorhynchus {Monsonia) richiardii Eic. The development 

 of this Culicid is already recorded by Dr. C. Wesenberg-Lund in his valuable 

 paper, " Anatomical description of the larva of Monsonia Richiardii Ficalbi

Heretcard Chime Dolhnan, E.E.S. — On January 3rd, 1919, Hereward 

 Chune Dollman died of sleeping' sickness at Hove House, Bedford Park, 

 London, W., in his 30th year. 



Born on March 10th, 1888, he commenced to collect British Lepidoptera 

 at the age of five, and during the following ten years, in conjunction with his 

 father and brother, a very complete collection was got together. While at 

 St, Paul's School, whei'e he was educated, his interests turned towards British 

 Beetles, and at the age of sixteen he was elected a Fellow of the Entomological 

 Society of London. In the Museum of St. Paul's School are to be seen many 

 instances of his early work, all carried out in a style that has rarely been sur- 

 passed. On leaving school he proceeded as a Scholar and School Exhibitioner 

 to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he continued his work on Coleoptera, 

 and played tenuis and lacrosse for his College. In 1912 he discovered and 

 described a beetle new to Science — Loiigitarsus plantago-maritimvs. Shortly 

 afterwiirds, on January 3rd, 1913, he left England for Central Africa, as 

 Entomologist to the Sleeping Sickness Survey of the British South Africa 

 Company. He was first stationed at Mwenga and later at Kashitu, and in 

 these districts the greater part of his A frican Coleoptera were obtained. His 

 work in connection with the " Tsetse " fly resulted in the discovery of a parasite, 

 a species of Mutilla, new to Science, described by Turner as M. ylossijine, 

 and figured by Dollman in the " Transactions of the Entomological Society of 

 London " in 1915. 



After nearly three years in Central Africa he returned to England on 

 leave, and married on February 23rd, 1916, Norah, eldest daughter of Dr. and 

 Mrs. HoUoway of Bedford Park ; she accompanied him back to Central Africa 

 and died at Kasempa on July 5th, 1916, shortly after a long trek across 

 N.W. Rhodesia. After his wife's death he moved north to Solwezi and gave 

 his attention to breeding Lepidoptera and making very careful drawings of 

 many of the larvae. Eighteen mouths before his return to England his con- 

 stantly recurring illnesses left him in no doubt that the " Tsetse-Fly " had done
