science. He edited the Entomological sections of several 

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

 and he himself contributed valuable accounts of the LejDido- 

 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 office was marked by great tact, good nature, 

 and ability. He ought to be always gratefully remembered 

 for the active and useful part he took in the protection of the 

 New Eorest, when in 1892 it was threatened with spoliation. 

 Mr. Goss was certainly a landmark in the history of the 

 Entomological Society. 



Febderic C. Lemann joined this Society in 1883. He died in 

 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 

 him. Although he made no collection himself, he was a keen 

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

 well acquainted with Switzerland and other parts of the Con- 

 tinent, and may be said to have introduced Corsica to British 

 entomologists. He wrote various paj)ers on his continental 

 excursions, but will perhaps be best remembered for his trans- 

 lation of Dr. H. Frey's " Die Lepidopteren der Schweiz." 



Francis Ford Freeman died on the 6th of April, 1908. He 

 was born December 16th, 1847. He joined the Entomological 

 Society in 1883. He made a very good collection of British 

 butterflies, most of which he caught himself. He had also a 

 separate collection of European butterflies, in the formation 

 of which he was assisted by Mr. F. C Lemann and Mr. W. 

 Nicholson. On one occasion, in 1885, he caught a perfectly 

 fresh specimen of Anosia plexippus. As he resided at Tavi- 

 stock he was unfortunately known only to a few London 

 entomologists. 



LiEUT.-CoLONEL C. T. BiNGHAM died on October 18th, 1908. 

 He was born April 16th, 1848, and joined this Society in 1895. 

 He was attached to the Bengal Staff Corps, and was Conser- 

 vator of Forests in Burma. While in India and Burma he 

 devoted much attention to Natural History, and collected 

 large numbers of specimens which he distributed liberally to
