Leeds Naturalists' Field Club, and Scientific Association. 

 — At the one hundred and eighty-ninth meeting of the 

 above Association, September I5th, 1875, Henry Pock- 

 lington, F.R.M.S., President, in the chair, Mr. James Abbott 

 reported the capture of Colias Edusa on the 5th September, 

 on the Otley Road, near Adel Dam, five miles north of Leeds. 

 The insect was identified by Mr. W. E. Clarke. Other 

 members reported that a specimen of Vanessa Antiopa had 

 been taken about a fortnight ago in the neighbourhood of 

 Kirkstall Road, Leeds, and was now in the possession of 

 Mr. C. W. Liversedge. 



Death of Mr. Charles Tester. — It is with sincere regret I 

 record the death of Charles Tester, of Balcombe. He died 

 at his residence, Sherlock's Farm, on the 17th of September, 

 at the age of forty-eight, after a very few hours illness. Mr. 

 Tester never went far from home in search of insects, — 

 Brighton and Lewes being the longest journeys he ever made, 

 — but he worked his own locality well. In his youth he met 

 with a sad accident by the bursting of a gun, which caused 

 the amputation of his left hand; shortly after which his 

 brother shot his right hand off, thus leaving him in an almost 

 helpless state ; but by various ingenious inventions he could 

 manage to use a net and cyanide-bottle ; and we have to 

 thank him for most of the British examples of Dicranura 

 bicuspis, Sesia spheciformis, Notodonta carmelita, Noctua 

 ditrapezium, and Cucullia Gnaphalii. — E. G. Meek; bQ, 

 Brompton Road.
