120 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Naturaliste’ as ‘‘l’ceuvre la plus complete et la plus consciencieuse 
qui ait été imprimée sur ce sujet.” He was elected a member of 
the French Entomological Society in 1835, and was a frequent 
contributor to its ‘ Annales.’ 
J.S. Kwareck, of Berlin, the Enghadine collector, mentioned 
by Stainton, died at Sils-Maria on 26th January last, aged 
seventy-nine years. See Ent. Nach., vi., 61. 
Ernst Aucust He.umurH von KiksENWETTER, of Dresden, 
the eminent coleopterist, has been carried off in the sixtieth year 
of his age. He contributed many important articles to the 
various German and French entomological serials, dating as far 
back as 1842. Several of these memoirs were monographs of 
genera, e.g., Hydrena, Heterocerus, Malthinus, &ec. Von Kiesen- 
wetter was one of the four authors of the ‘Naturgeschichte der 
Insecten Deutschlands: Coleoptera.’ He was a Privy Councillor 
of the King of Saxony. 
Dr. Jonann Georc Haac-Rurensere, the Frankfort coleop- 
terist, died on 20th November, 1879, aged forty-nine years. 
George Haag was the author of many papers in the Berlin 
‘Zeitschrift’ and Stettin ‘Zeitung’; his revision of the Cantharide 
(S. e. Z., xl., 249—275, 287—314, 5183—519) remains unfinished. 
See Stett. ent. Zeit., xli., 111. 
CamitLto Ronpant, the eminent dipterist, died last autumn, 
18th September, 1879, at Parma, his native city, where he was 
president of the “Instituto Tecnico.” He published many 
memoirs on Diptera, both European and exotic, but has left his 
great work ‘ Dipterologiz Italice prodromus’ unfinished, eight 
volumes having, however, appeared (1856—1877). He was vice- 
president under Targioni-Tozzetti, and an original member (1869), 
of the Italian Entomological Society, in whose ‘ Bullettino’ he 
published many various memoirs, notably his ‘‘ Degli insetti 
parassiti” in volumes three to eight. Also, as in other serials, 
many papers on the various families of Diptera. He was seventy- 
two years old when he died. 
The loss of these honoured entomologists will be felt by 
students of almost every Order of Insects; but let us hope 
that some of our readerg are qualifying to stop the gaps thus 
left.—E. A. F.
