many of his acts of usefulness in the Science ‘of Entomology. 
It is intended to raise a monument to his memory in Staly- 
bridge; and already a goodly amount of money has been 
subscribed by the friends and admirers of Natural Science ; 
and should any of his friends, elsewhere, feel desirous of 
contributing to so praiseworthy an object, their subscriptions 
can be directed to the Secretary of the Stalybridge 
Naturalist’s Club, and will be duly acknowledged. Perhaps, 
if any should wish to transmit through you, you would oblige 
us by receiving their donations, and transmitting them to 
us at your convenience.—Communicated by D. Jolliffe; 
Secretary to the Stalybridge Naturalist’s Club, Stalybridge,

Death of Mr. Henry Denny, A.L.S.—Mr. Henry Denny, 
the curator of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, 
died on the 7th of this month (March), at the age of 68. The 
previous part of his life was spent in Norwich, of which town 
he was a native. He was the first paid curator the Leeds

described as that of sub-curator, and he entered upon his 
duties with the recommendations and “decided testimonials 
of gentlemen eminent for scientific attainments, and fully 
competent to form an opinion of the requisite qualifications 
for the post.” In the first report, presented after Mr. Denny’s 
appointment, the council stated that they had found him in 
every way qualified for his office; and, in the succeeding 
reports up to that of 1870, when the Society celebrated its 
jubilee, the council—although always changing hands, and 
now entirely changed from what it was when Mr. Denny 
entered the service of the Society—scarcely ever neglected 
the opportunity of referring to the advantages conferred upon 
the institute through the exertions of its curator. In the last 
report testimony is borne to the ready munificence of the 
Leeds townsmen in contributing to the completeness of the 
Society’s museum, a liberality, it is added, “evoked and 
guided by the knowledge and untiring energy of its curator, 
Mr. Denny.” It was thus that Mr. Denny made the museum 
what it is. Wherever he found missing links in the chain of 
natural history, archeological or geological specimens that 
were being formed by the Society, he was never at rest until,
