special allusion in my address last year, continues to in- 
crease. 
We have not lost by death during 1894 either so many or 
such distinguished men as those whose names I had to 
mention last year. Of our Fellows, the oldest and best known 
is Jonn JENNER WEIR, F'.L.S., etc., who died at Beckenham 
in August. He had been a Fellow since 1845, and was a 
most regular attendant at our meetings during nearly fifty 
years. He was often a Member of Council, Treasurer from 
1876 to 1879, and vice-President in 1886. Though not a pro- 
lifie writer, he had a large general acquaintance with British 
and Exotic Lepidoptera, as well as a good knowledge of 
ornithology and botany. Of late years he had formed a fair 
general collection of butterflies, which was dispersed at Stevens’ 
rooms soon after his death. He was a most amiable and 
popular man, who will be much missed at our meetings. 
Major-General Grorcr Carpen, F.E.5., died at Bromley on 
Feb. 12, aged 56, from the effects of influenza. He had 
served with the 77th regiment in the Crimean War, and with 
the Northumberland Fusiliers during the Indian Mutiny, 
and commanded this regiment for some years. Though not 
a scientific entomologist, he was a close observer, and an 
active collector of British Lepidoptera. 
Francis Bucuanan Wuite, M.D., died at Perth, on Dec. 8rd, 
aged 52, having been a Fellow of our Society since 1868. 
He devoted a great part of his life to the study of natural 
history, especially in the Highlands of Scotland; and though 
perhaps more a botanist than an entomologist, had con- 
tributed many papers on his discoveries to the ‘ Kntomo- 
logist’s Monthly Magazine’ and other periodicals. Perhaps 
his best known and most important works were his paper ‘ On 
the Male Genital Armature in the European Rhopalocera,’ 
published in the ‘Transactions of the Linnean Society,’ and 
a memoir on the Pelagic Hemiptera of the Challenger Expe- 
dition. He was for some years President of the Perthshire 
Society of Natural Science, and editor of its Proceedings, and, 
though not so well known in England, was a leading man 
among Scottish naturalists.
