 volumes of the " Victoria History of the Counties of England,"

 ptera of several counties. He held the office of Secretary to 

 our Society for eleven years from 1886, and again from 1901 

 to 1905; he was Vice-President of the Society in 1906. His 

 long tenure of oflico was marked by great tact, good nature,

 March 1908. As he did not reside in London he was known 

 only to a few of the Fellows of this Society, but his friendship 

 and companionship were greatly valued by those who knew

 collector of butterflies, which he gave to his friends. He was 

 well acquainted with Switzerland and other parts of the Con-
