field, 15 fair specimens, 17 Aug. Vanessa 

 milbeiti has been abundant in some localities 

 about Boston this season. Another rare 

 capture was two partly grown larvae of 

 Citheionia regalis, at Leverett. 15 Aug. 



Dr. Hermann Muller, of Lippstadt, 

 Germany, who has made many interesting 

 and valuable contributions to scientific litera- 

 ture upon the mutual relations of insects and 

 plants, especially upon the fertilization of 

 plants by insects, died at Prad, in Tyrol, 25 

 .-August. His name heads over fifty titles of 

 the bibliographical record of volume three of 

 P,SYCHE, and the name of his brother, Dr. 

 Fritz Muller, of Blumenau, Brazil, about 

 twenty more. Dr. Hermann Muller has con- 

 tributed largely to Just's Botaiiischerjafires- 

 bcricht, to Nature and to Kosmos ; and, 

 among other separate works, may be noted 

 his excellent treatise on the fertilization of 

 flowers by insects and their mutual adapta- 

 tion for that function. The above statements 

 convey only an imperfect idea of the amount, 

 and almost no idea of the value of the papers 

 written by Dr. Muller, whose death will be 

 mourned by his numerous correspondents 

 and by naturalists in general as the loss of a 

 true philosopher in his special field of re- 

 search. G: D.
