him to Dr. Malcolm Burr, who will, I am certain, be both able 
and willing to furnish it. 
The list of losses sustained in the Session now closing by 
deaths among our Fellows is not a long one. But such losses, 
to be truly estimated, must be weighed, not counted. And so 
estimated they are serious indeed. 
OBITUARY. 
Honorary Fellows. 
Prerer Cornetius Topras SNELLEN, of Rotterdam, was our 
senior honorary Fellow, elected so long ago as 1885. He 
died (wt. 77) on March 29th of last year. He is principally 
known by a magnificent work on “The Lepidoptera of the 
Netherlands,” the first volume of which (published in 1867) 
dealt with the “ Macros,” the second, appearing twenty years 
afterwards (when he was already on our roll of Hon, Fellows), 
with the “Micros.” Recently he assisted in producing an 
important work on “The Rhopalocera of Java.” 
SamueL Husparp Scupper, formerly of Boston and after- 
wards of Cambridge, U.S.A., was elected Hon. Fellow in 1895, 
and died (zt. 74) on May 7th, 1911. He was an Entomologist 
of world-wide celebrity, and author of innumerable works deal- 
ing for the most part with American Lepidoptera, some of a 
popular character, others standard monographs of the highest 
scientific importance. The mere list of writings by him which 
were in our Society’s library so long ago as 1893 occupies 
many pages of the Catalogue published in that year. He 
was also a leading authority on the subject of Fossil Insects, 
and in connection with his researches on that subject became 
further renowned as an Orthopterist and a Neuropterist. 
Fuller details of his career and writings may be found in 
almost all the leading scientific periodicals.* 
Ordinary Fellows. 
Oscar C. SILvERLOcK became a Fellow in 1909, and died on 
March 22nd, 1911. Iam unable to state his exact age; but 
* The vacancies on our roll of Hon. Fellows caused by the deaths 
of these two great Naturalists have been filled by the election of Father 
ae Wasmann, S.J. (Holland), and Professor John Henry Comstock 
(U.S.A.).
