He seldom visited London ; and personally I knew him only 
by correspondence as to his captures of Hymenoptera in 
Cornwall, many of which were of considerable interest, and 
of which he published a list in “ Ent. Mo. Mag.,” April 1911, 
the month in which he died. He had previously corresponded 
with Mr, E. Saunders on the same subject. For many years 
he had devoted much time to the British Lepidoptera, and 
had executed a series of coloured drawings of their larvae, 
with the intention of publishing, ultimately, an illustrated 
text-book on the subject. Had he been spared, I feel con- 
vinced that he would have made great additions to our 
knowledge of the Cornish fauna. He had only studied the 
Hymenoptera for a few years at most, but his knowledge 
of them was already far from superficial. 
ALEXANDER Henry CLArk, who died (xt. 74) on July 
25th, 1911, was one of our oldest Fellows, elected so long ago 
as 1867. Succeeding his father many years ago as the senior 
partner in a leading firm of solicitors in the City, and remain- 
ing in that position until his death, he was naturally unable to 
indulge his strong natural interest in Entomology to the full; 
and of late years increasing age and failing health made it 
impossible for him to bea frequent attendant at our meetings, 
or at those of the South London Society, to which he also 
belonged. But he was to the last, so far as health and leisure 
permitted it, an enthusiastic collector of Lepidoptera, and his 
name occurs frequently in the works of our leading writers 
on that subject—South, Tutt, ete. He contributed frequent 
notes on captures and biological observations to the “ Entom. 
Record,” and his capture of Orrhodia erythrocephala, F. (then a 
great rarity) in 1859 excited considerable interest at the time. 
Even his leisure could not be exclusively devoted to Ento- 
mology, for he was also seriously interested in many very 
different branches of study, e.g. Botany, Ancient History, 
and even Assyriology. 
Apert Harrison was born in 1860, became a Fellow in 
1897, and died suddenly of haemorrhage on the brain on 
August 27th, 1911. From 1908 to 1910 he was a Member 
of the Council. As London manager for an important sugar- 
refinery in Liverpool he was necessarily much occupied with
