of this countiy have chiefly benefited. His works, however, on exotic Phytophaga 
and Hyd/radephaga have procured for him an universal reputation ; his last published 
labour being the first part of a projected Catalogue of the Phytophaga of the world, 
which we had occasion to notice at p. 23 of our third volume. 
It is, perhaps, beyond the scope of such a notice as this to refer to private 
matters ; but we may be pardoned for testifying that the same energy that prompted 
Mr. Clark in the cause of Entomology, urged him, and with a higher motive, to the 
unceasing discharge of his ministerial duties ; so that, to those who knew him well 
(and he endeared himself by his amiability to all with whom he came in contact), 
the old simile of the sword wearing out its scabbard must inevitably recur. 
About two years ago, repeated and severe attacks of illness warned him (un- 
fortunately, too late) that he must take rest. He accordingly retired to Rhyl, in 
North Wales, where he died on the 10th of June, at an age when it is generally 
supposed that our capability for mental and physical endurance is most mature. 
The passion for work ruled strongly in him to the end ; for it is but a few 
weeks ago that he began collecting materials for a Brit. Mus. Catalalogue of Hydrade- 
phaga, being too weak to handle the larger boxes of exotic Phytophaga. Surely such 
an adherence to the text of " work" is not without its significance. 
Some few years ago, Mr. Clark paid a short visit to Brazil, where he made 
valuable collections and observations. His collection of exotic Phytophaga is 
almost unrivalled, as he spared neither labour nor money in its formation. We 
cannot at present state what will become of it : possibly (but let us hope not) it 
will meet the fate of dispersion that too frequently attends the acctmiulations of 
the devotion of a life.

Mo. Mag., iv., 16, the " Japan silkworm " alluded to by Captain Hutton in the 
paper read at the January meeting of the Entomological Society was not Bombyx 
Yamamai, but a mulberry feeder producing a green cocoon : see Proc. Ent. Soc,

Bart., F.E.S., in the Chair. 
Mr. Pascoe exhibited a collection of beetles from Grahamstown, South Africa, 
which included several fine new species of Longicorns. 
Mr. Wood exhibited a peculiar race of the North American butterfly Vanessa 
Milberti, from British Columbia. 
Mr. Stainton read a letter, received from Professor Williamson, respecting a 
Tortrix which had occasioned great damage to the cotton crop in Upper and Lower 
Egypt, through boring into the seeds. The moth, of which he exhibited specimens, 
was Earias siliquana, which had always been considered a very scarce European 
species. 
Mr. Bond exhibited a Tortrix from Darenth Wood, apparently new to this 
country ; also a singular variety of Adela Be Oeerella. 
Mr. Smith exhibited an old razor case, in one of the divisions of which was a 
collection of the cells of Od/ynerus quadratus ; from this neet he had bred ten males
