higher end of solving biological problems of importance. 
Whenever he could, he directed his every energy during his 
travels to the task of bringing together evidence bearing on 
some biological problem. 
Yorkshire has lost two of its distinguished Entomologists. 
Dr. H. H. Corbett was one of the leading spirits in the scientific 
and literary life of Doncaster and, ably supported by his wife 
who was as keen an Entomologist as hiniself, did much valu- 
able work in connection with the Coleoptera and Lepidoptera 
of his district. To Mr. J. W. Carter, who died at Bradford 
on December 15th of last year, many new records are due in 
Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, Lepidoptera and other orders. 
John Gardner, of Hartlepool, a Fellow of this Society since 
1890, did much good work in the exploration of the Lepidoptera 
and Coleoptera of Durham. He enriched the lists of that 
county by many rare species, and will be specially remembered 
as the discoverer of the larvae of several Microlepidoptera. 
His great kindness to younger Entomologists and his readiness 
to place his knowledge at the disposal of his fellow-workers 
endeared him to all who came in contact with him. We had 
the pleasure of meeting him at Tring in 1912, on the occasion 
of the visit of the members of the International Entomological 
Congress to my Museum. 
Professor L. C. Miall joined the Society in 1894, and was 
elected a special life member in 1916 for his distinguished 
services to Entomology. He is best known to us by his book 
on Aquatic Insects and the Monographs on the Cockroach, 
the Harlequin Fly and the Tipulid Phalacrocera replicata. 
As professor of Biology in the University of Leeds his interests 
embraced the wide field of Biology as well as Education. 
Mr. J. C. Hawkshaw, of Liphook, Hants, devoted much time 
and care to Microlepidoptera, and the Rev. H. M. Bratzer, 
Mr. F. M. Campbell, Mr. T. 8. Hillman, Mrs. C. A. Melville, 
Mr. W. D. Robinson-Douglas and Mr. F. G. Whittle did much 
good service in the investigation of the local fauna of their 
counties. 
Among our losses are three who lived in oversea countries.
