use the term nymph, instead of larva, or larva and nymph, for the 
whole of the early stages of insects with incomplete metamorphosis 
(hemimetabolic). Wo dove

OBITUARY. 
H. T. Dosson: 
Aut who knew him will regret to hear that a genial member of 
the entomological fraternity has passed away in the person of Mr. 
H. T. Dobson, of New Malden. A somewhat exacting business in 
London, municipal work in Malden and Southwark, as well as affairs 
connected with his local Congregational Church, of which he was a 
deacon, made large calls on his time; but Mr. Dobson was a keen 
lover of Nature, and this fourth form of activity received its due 
share of attention. In his younger days he was a keen fisherman, 
and he was also much interested in gardening, but birds and insects 
were his chief delight. For more than forty years he had been an 
entomologist. Since 1884 he had been a member of the South 
London Entomological and Natural History Society. In 1895 he 
was elected a Fellow of the Entomological Society of London. 
Though notes from his pen have appeared occasionally in entomo- 
logical periodicals, he did not add much to the literature of his 
subject. For some years he had been in poor health, and as time 
went on he was able to do an ever decreasing amount of field work, 
but he never lost interest and went on collecting in the limited space 
afforded by his garden at New Malden. As he retained full use of 
his arms when walking became impossible, he was able to go on 
adding to his collections, and preparing the specimens so kindly sent 
him for his valuable and well-kept cases of birds. He finally retired 
from business in January last, and died on June 27th at the age of 
sixty-one, leaving a widow and three sons to mourn his loss. We 
understand that he left directions for his collection to be sold.
