Fernald, has the strongly indented margin of this genus, hut, so far as I am aware, 

 it has no costal fold whatever. Some revision will ultimately be required here unless 

 the genus Proteopteryx should be recharacterized. A valuable addition has been 

 made to this list in giving the names of the food plants of such species as have been 

 observed in their larval stages. The very beautiful unpublished drawings, by Abbot, 

 now in the British Museum, would afford some further information upon this branch 

 of the subject. 



With these few remarks, I commend this most uscfid catalogue of the Tortricidm 

 to the notice of all who are interested in the subject which it illustrates. It cannot 

 fail materially to advance the study of the North American representatives of this 

 family of the Micro-Lepidoptera. The results of the author's labours have already 

 been widely circulated, not only in the Transactions of the American Entomological 

 Society, but through the medium of Mr. A. R. Grote's check list of North American 

 Lepidoptera (published about the same time in New York*), a work which is itself 

 indispensable to all collectors. — Walsingham, Merton Hall, Thetford : December

Archdeacon Sey. — On "Wednesday, November 22nd, in his 72nd year, the Ven- 

 erable Archdeacon Hey died suddenly at The Residence, York, of angina pectoris : 

 although he had occasionally felt oppression in the chest, the ailment never assumed 

 a serious form before the fatal attack, and in half an hour all was over. He was an 

 enthusiastic Coleopterist ; one of that diminisliing band who form a connecting 

 link with the old days of Curtis and Stephens, and in spite of his ever-increasing 

 work, he always found some time to give to his favourite study. 



He was fond of pointing out how his life might be divided into decades. In 

 1824 he was sent to school, in 1834 he took his degree, in 1844 he was made Head 

 Master of St. Peter's School, York, in 1854 he was appointed an Honorary Canon 

 of York and Yicar of St. Helen's, in 1864 he became Canon Residentiary, and in 

 1874 Archdeacon of Cleveland. 



The Hydradephaga were his special study, and he thoroughly worked all the 

 waters around York for this group : by fixr his best and most favourite locality was 

 Askham Bog, from which he was perpetually sending good species to various col- 

 lectors in different parts of the kingdom : not long since the writer of this notice 

 had a day's work with him at Askham, when he went to work with his net (designed 

 by himself and peculiarly suitable for working the bog) with an energy that many 

 a man of half his years might have envied : he paid his last visit to this his 

 favourite collecting ground, only last July, and had the satisfaction of once more 

 taking Specimens of the rarity he was always on the look out for, Ilydroporus 

 Scalesianus.f In his collection of insects he used to point with special pride to the 

 original Lissodema Ueyanum, bearing a label in Curtis' handwriting. 



He took the gi-eatest interest in the York Museum, and also in the meetings of 

 the British Association. 



His kindness and generosity to all who were in any way interested in his 

 favourite pursuit will cause him to be long remembered and regretted by all Ento- 

 mologists who had the pleasure of knowing him. 



His son, the Rev. W. C. Hey, inherits his father's collections, and also his taste 

 for Coleoptera. — W. W. F.
