During the past year the Society has lost five Fellows by 

 death : — 



Mr. Joseph S. Baly, M.R.C.S., F.L.S., died in March, at 

 the age of 73. He was elected to this Society in 1850, and 

 was well known as the author of a large number of papers on 

 Coleoptera, and especially as one of the foremost authorities 

 on the Phytophaga. Formerly a medical student at St. George's 

 Hospital, he was at least as well known in his extensive 

 medical practice as for his valuable entomological studies ; a 

 large number of his types are now in the British Museum. 



Mr. Arthur Bliss, who died at the early age of 32, joined 

 our Society in 1885, and was formerly Secretary to the 

 South London Entomological and Natural History Society. 



Mr. "William C. Copperthwaite had been a Fellow of the 

 Society since 1876. 



Monsieur I'Abbe S. A. de Marseul, one of the oldest members

 eminent Coleopterist, and as the founder of the journal 

 called • L'Abeille ' ; he was also the author of an ' Essai 

 Monographique sur la famille des Histerides,' and of a well- 

 known catalogue of European Coleoptera. He joined our 

 ranks in 1869. 



Mr. Owen Wilson, a barrister by profession, was best 

 known to the Society as the author of a work on the larvas of 

 British Lepidoptera and their food-plants. 



Among those entomologists, not Fellows of this Society, 

 who have passed away during the year, are many well-known 

 names. In Mons. Lucien Buquet and Mons. Eugene 

 Desmarest the French Entomological Society have had the 

 misfortune to lose two of their oldest and most faithful 

 oiEcers ; the former was no less than 45 years their 

 Treasurer, the latter their Secretary since 1845. 



Professor Heinrich Frey, M.D., one of the joint authors
