haustion following pneumonia, after having been ill for about 

 three weeks. Mr, Armitage was born in London in 1817, so 

 that he had but just completed his 79th year. Educated 

 principally in France and Germany in 1837, he entered 

 the studio of Paul Delaroche in Paris, and was elected by 

 that artist to assist him in a decoration he was then engaged 

 upon at the School of Fine Arts. At Paris Mr. Armitage 

 exhibited his first independent work, " Prometheus Bound," 

 and subsequently gained a first class prize of £300 in the 

 Cartoon Exhibition at Westminster Hall, for his " Landing 

 of Julius Cffisar in Britain." After a year's study at Eome 

 he returned to England and exhibited his first pictures at 

 the Royal Academy, in 1848, "Henry the Eighth and 

 Katherine Parr" and " The Death of Nelson" ; and to the 

 annual exhibitions of that body he had, until a year or two 

 ago, been a constant contributor. I am not aware that he 

 ever published any papers on entomological subjects, but he 

 possessed a collection of exotic Coleoptera, and, moreover, he 

 was one of the oldest Fellows of the Entomological Society 

 of London, having been elected in 1856. Some years ago he 

 exhibited at the Royal Academy a picture of a " Sale of an 

 Insect Collection at Stevens's Great Rooms."
