His published papers, numerous though they be, probably afford a poor compari- 

 son with the notes he lias left behind him, and from his method of work, it is not 

 probable that these latter can be utilized. 



The following is a probably complete list of his published memoirs, all of which 

 appeared in the Transactions of the Entomological Society of London.

 Video : Tr. Ent. Soc, ser. i, vol. i, pp. 149—157 (1836). On a new genus of Diptera

In addition to these, his notes and materials formed the subject-matter of 

 several papers by the late Frederick Smith, and his surviving colleague Prof. West- 

 wood, upon whom the death of his old friend has fallen as a severe blow. 



No where will he be more missed than at the Meetings of the Entomological 

 Society ; at which, since his retirement from ofiicial duties, he was a constant 

 attendant.
