memoir in the ' Zoologist ' it now appears that in addition to the 

 numerous articles which he published in his own name, he 

 assumed at different times the " various pseudonyms, ' Corderius 

 Secundus,' ' E. N. D.,' ' Paisticus,' and others." The memoirs 

 published under his own name up to the year 1860 are recorded 

 in Dr. Hagen's ' Bibliographia Entomologica,' but it is desirable 

 that a complete list of his subsequent works, including those 

 which he published under fictitious names, should be given to the 

 public. 



Edwin Brown, of Burton-upon-Trent, died on the 1st of 

 September last, aged fifty-seven. He was a general naturalist, 

 and had formed large collections of geological, botanical, and 

 zoological specimens, but with an especial predilection for insects, 

 of which, regardless of expense, he had amassed a very valuable 

 collection. In ] 842 he published a notice of Locusta migratoria 

 in the 'Annals of Natural History,' and in 1863 he contributed 

 the entomological portion of Sir Oswald Moseley's ' Natural 

 History of Tutbury,' in which he published an account with 

 figures of the preparatory stages of the genus Acentropus, fully 

 confirming the opinion which I had ventured to express years 

 previously in our 'Transactions' (vol. i., p. 18), that the insect 

 belonged to the order Lepidoptera. 



Trovey Blackmore died on the 8rd of last September, at the 

 age of forty-one. He had made a collection of the insects of 

 North Africa (which he had visited for the sake of his health), 

 but I am not aware that either he or Mr. Jacob Birt, our other 

 lost member, had published any entomological memoir or notice. 



Thomas WiLiaNSON, of Scarborough, died on the 13th of April, 

 at the age of fifty-eight years. He was well known as a most 

 indefatigable and excellent Micro-Lepidopterist, having carefully 

 investigated the life-history of many minute species of moths, of 

 which he had discovered a considerable number of new species.* 



The Obituary of our Science during the past year, moreover, 

 comprises several other well-known and lamented names. 



Dr. Ludwig Redtenbacher, the Director of the Imperial 

 Museum of Natural History in Vienna, died on the 8th of 

 February, 1876, in his sixty-third year. He was educated with 

 his brothers in the Gymnasium attached to the Great Monastery 



* The deceased entomologist here alluded to must not be confounded with Mr. 

 S. J. AVilkinson, the author of the valued work on British Tortricidse.
