We regret to hear of the death of Capt. D. H. Murdock, 9th U. S. In- 

 fantry, lately stationed at Fort Douglass U. T. Capt. Murdock was a 

 good collector and in a good locality, for obtaining rare species. Many 

 good species in our collection came from him. He was drowned while 

 crossing a river with a detachment of troops on a scouting expedition. 



Death from typhoid fever has prematurely removed one of the most 

 active workers in Acarinology, Dr. Gustav Haller who died in Bern 

 Switzerland, on May i, 1886, after a short illness. His papers mostly 

 published in the Mittheilungen derSchweizerischen Entomol. Gesellschaft 

 and in various German periodicals have contributed much to our knowl- 

 edge of the biology, morphology and systematic arrangement of the 

 Acarids and more especially of the families Tyroglyphidag, Sarcoptidce and 

 Hydrachnida;.
