and formed a large collection of Coleoptera; but, from 
his retiring disposition, was little known in the scientific 
world. 
The Rey. F.O. Morris, B.A., Vicar of Nunburnholme, York- 
shire, who died on Feb. 10th, at the age of eighty-three, was 
well known for his popular works on British butterflies and 
British moths, which, though they have had a large circulation, 
are rather compilations than the works of an original observer. 
He was an extreme opponent of all modern ideas on Evolu- 
tion, and in consequence held somewhat aloof from the 
scientific society of the present day. 
Mr. James Barry, who died recently at Sheffield, was an 
excellent type of the artisan entomologist, who is, I am afraid, 
becoming rarer than formerly, notwithstanding the great 
increase of facilities for study and locomotion. He studied 
Lepidoptera in the field for many years, and discovered the 
larve of T'apinostola elymi and other species. 
Herr Epuarp G. Honrarn died at Berlin on April 19th. 
He had for many years been one of the principal dealers in 
modern pictures and works of art in Berlin, and for some 
time President of the Entomological Society of Berlin. 
As a lepidopterist he was active in forming a collection of 
European and exotic butterflies, which rivalled that of the 
late Mr. Hewitson in the larger and more showy genera, and 
was especially rich in species of the genus Parnassius. He 
described and published many new species in the Journal of 
the Entomological Society of Berlin, and was a Fellow of 
our Society. 
Dr. Avour Spryer died at Rhoden, Waldeck, on Nov. 14th, 
1892, at the age of eighty, and a long account of his life was 
published in the ‘Iris,’ vol. vi., pt. i, pp. 387-68, by his 
relative, Prof. Otto Speyer. For fifty years he had been an 
enthusiastic lepidopterologist, and published as many as 
seventy separate papers in the ‘Ivis,’ ‘ Stettiner Entomolo- 
gische Zeitung,’ and other periodicals. His principal work, 
and the one by which he was best known in England, was 
‘Die Geographische Verbreitung der Schmetterlinge Deutsch- 
lands und der Schweiz,’ published in 1858 and 1862. This 
is the best work on the geographical distribution of Huropean
