bring out his later works in a useful and handsome form. 
The chief product of this joint authorship was the enlarged 
edition of the ‘Classification of the Coleoptera of North 
America,” published in 1883. An excellent systematist, 
Horn chiefly devoted himself to the monographic revision of 
families and genera, being markedly averse to the description 
of isolated new species. His first paper appeared in 1860, in 
the ‘‘ Proceedings” of the Academy of Natural Sciences of 
Philadelphia; and his work was almost entirely confined to 
the North-American fauna, the one important exception being 
his monograph of the Eucnemide in the ‘“ Biologia Centrali- 
Americana.’’ He was a reserved man and a bachelor; but 
he made two voyages to Europe in order to visit collections 
and make the acquaintance of Huropean entomologists, and 
he has been a welcome visitor at meetings of this Society. 
About a year ago a paralytic stroke incapacitated him from 
work, and he died on November 25th, 1897. 
The Rey. Anprew Marruews, Rector of Gumley, Leicester- 
shire, was one of the most independent and original of 
British naturalists. Devoting himself at first to ornithology 
and the collection of Lepidoptera, he subsequently turned his 
attention to neglected groups of minute Coleoptera, especially 
the Trichopterygide, on which his extraordinary skill as a 
dissector and microscopist rendered him the first, and practi- 
cally the only, living authority. He was an admirable field- 
naturalist, and added many rare species of Coleoptera to the 
British list, but, retirmg as he was, and markedly averse to 
connecting himself with learned societies, he was known per- 
sonally to few entomologists. His principal work, ‘ Tricho- 
pterygia Ilustrata,’’ was published in 1874; a second supple- 
mentary volume on the Corylophidee, completed in his 80th 
year, still awaits publication. 
Father Monrrouzirr, a missionary to New Caledonia, and 
a member of the Entomological Society of France, was well- 
known as a collector in, and writer on the fauna and flora of, 
New Caledonia, the Solomon and Woodlark Islands. 
Wiuu1am Rorxors, a former President of the Belgian Ento- 
mological Society, was a coleopterist and an authority upon 
Curculionide.
