Charles H. Fernald died at the ripe age of 83. He was 
one of the great pioneer teachers of Entomology in the 
U.S.A., whose works on New England Lepidoptera and North 
American Micros have made his name familiar to European 
Entomologists. 
Professor Tsunetake Miyake was particularly occupied with 
the study of Economic Entomology, of which he was a teacher 
at the Imperial University of Tokyo. He has published a 
treatise on general Entomology in two volumes, and many 
papers on various entomological subjects. Having contracted 
typhoid fever, he died on February 2nd, 1921, at the early 
age of 40. 
Among the foreign Entomologists who died during 1921 
two stand out prominently. Monsieur Albert Fauvel, of Caen, 
France, the well-known specialist in Staphylinidae and editor 
of the Revue d’Entomologie, and Herr Edmund Reitter, of 
Paskau in Moravia, the celebrated Coleopterist, who has des- 
cribed more Palaearctic beetles than any other author. Reitter 
is the author of nearly 10,000 genera, species and varieties, and 
his publications number over a thousand. His collection was 
bought in 1916 by the National Hungarian Museum at 
Budapest. 
Shortly before the close of the year the sad news reached 
the Society that they had yet to mourn another bereavement. 
Dr. T. A. Chapman died on December 17th, 1921. He had 
been seriously ill the year before, and we knew that he was 
far from well, yet we hoped that he would recover once more 
and be able to enjoy the continuance of his pursuits. His 
death leaves a vacant place in Entomology which it will be 
difficult to fill. Dr. Chapman, an intimate entomological 
friend to many Fellows of this Society, typifies a kind of 
Entomologist of which there are far too few. If Edmund 
Reitter was chiefly concerned with describing and classifying 
genera and species and in his line surpassed all records, Dr. 
Chapman had no predilection for that essentially nomencla- 
torial side of science, but devoted his energies to the study of 
morphology and bionomics, and the results of his patient and 
painstaking researches in the life-histories of Kuropean 
Lepidoptera stand so high, are so reliable, and are so much
