what has already beeu said in this Magazine as to the loss he will be 

 to Entomology. To those who had the privilege of knowing him 

 personally, his keenness, his wide general knowledge and pleasure in 

 imparting it, his camaraderie and hospitality will be an evergreen 

 memory. I may add that he was essentially a man who attracted 

 younger men. 



Mr. E. A. Butler spent A\igust, 1913, in the county, and collected 

 a number of interesting species west of Hereford in a quite unexplored 

 part. I have also received valuable help from Mr. A. J. Dyson Perrins, 

 and his capture of Cryptoliyinius sabulicola is particularly notable. 



Other noteworthy species are Scraptia fuscula, Platycis minuta, 

 Trechus discus, Homalium gracilicorne, Euplectus duponti, Smicrus 

 filicornis, and Melolontha hippocastani. 



Badister sodalis Dufts., one in flood refuse at Mordiford ; Amara bifrons 

 GylL, common as a rule in Mathon sandpits ; Anchomenus gracilis Gyll., not 

 uncommon at Mathon, Colwall, and on the Monnow ; A. thoretji Dj., Kenchester 

 (Butler) ; Bembidium riparium 01., common and widely distributed, in fact it 

 rather seems to replace biguttatum, which is distinctly less common ; B.fluviatile 

 Dej., not uncommon on the Eiver Teme at Whitbourne in September, 1913 : this 

 discovery is due to Professor Beare, who joined me at Whitbourne with a view 

 to capturing Macromjchus — the latter occurred in great abundance, in fact one 

 small submerged log was tenanted by several hundi-eds ; Trechus discus F., not 

 very uncommon by the Eiver Wye at Breinton, where Mr. Butler discovered it 

 and introduced me to it in September, 1913 ; T. micros Hbst., one under a stone 

 at Hardwick, 28.8.09.
