sum of £200 had been bequeathed by that gentleman to the funds of 

 the Society, " as an appreciation of a life's pleasant and instructive 

 fellowship with their members." 



The Kntomoloiiical A'ewH for June reminds us that " a specimen 

 unaccompanied by any data as to its habitat, its time of occurrence, its 

 relation to its surroundings, has a certain value, but from any other 

 view- point such a naked object is useless." All of the most interesting 

 sides of entomology, of biology, are based upon the observations made 

 in connection with the living thing and its surroundings, and the more 

 completely these are recorded in connection with the specimen the 

 better." This was brought home to us recently very strongly when a 

 collection of a life-time with thousands of butterflies and moths came 

 into our possession, not one of which had a label of any kind. They 

 were absolutely useless, although many were local species there was 

 not the slightest indication of locality even.
