giving him the opportunity of continuing his studies on the 
Hemiptera, and especially on the Fulgoridae. His “ Catalogue 
of the Hemiptera,” which was to have included the whole 
Order, has been published in part, and it is understood that 
further instalments will be issued under the auspices of 
M. J. R. de la Torre Bueno, to whose charge Kirkaldy’s 
unpublished manuscripts and notes have been committed. 
Mr. F. W. Terry, to whom I am indebted for many of the 
details just given, has written as follows of his deceased 
associate: “ A voluminous writer and wide reader, a staunch 
friend and genial companion, he was always ready to give 
others the benefit of his udde bibliographical knowledge.

George Carter Bignell, known for his earlier work on 
Lepidoptera and his later researches on various forms of 
parasites, especially those infesting the Aphides, died early 
in the year at the ripe age of eighty-four.

C. Goldthwait, George Henry, and W. A. Luff. 
But unfoi’tunately the death-roll of 1910 does not exhaust 
the list of our losses. Within the last few days we have 
received the sad intelligence that James William Tutt, a 
member of our Council and President-nominate, is no moi’e. 
This is not the time or the place to attempt a full apprecia¬ 
tion of his personal qualities, or of the services which he has 
rendered to entomology in general and to our own Society in 
particular. But I may at least be permitted to recall his 
untiring industry, his exemplai-y thoroughness, his contagious 
enthusiasm, and that over-mastering love of his subject which 
constrained him to devote the scanty leisure of a busy pro¬ 
fessional life to the single-minded pursuit of his entomological 
studies. To what good purpose he used his opportunities we 
all know; and those of us who have had occasion to serve 
with him on the Council and Publications Committee will be
