Death of Mr. Edleston. — Robert Smith Edleston, of 

 Bowdon, in Cheshire, died at his residence on the 31st of 

 October, 1872, and was buried at Bowdon church on the 

 2nd of November. From an early age he had been a most 

 ardent collector of Lepidoptera, and had made one of the 

 largest collections in Great Britain : this is particularly rich 

 in British Tineida3. Of late years ]\Ir. Edleston turned his 

 attention almost exclusively to British Coleoptera ; and of 

 these, also, he had made a very large collection. He was 

 fifty-three years of age. — Edward Newman.
