brother, H. W. Bates, F.R.S., he was especially devoted to the 
Coleoptera, although his interests were wide and embraced 
many aspects of natural history, both zoological and botanical. 
He was the author of many papers, chiefly dealing with the 
Heteromera, in our Transactions and in the ‘ Entomologist’s 
Monthly Magazine.” His exceedingly fine collection of 
Heteromera is now in the British Museum, while his collection 
of British Coleoptera was a gift to his intimate friend Mr. 
Horace Donisthorpe. Many friends mourn the loss of a keen 
and able naturalist, a many-sided and genial personality.* 
THe Rev. Joon Hocxine Hocxkine, M.A., J.P., F.ES., 
Rector of Copdock-with-Washbrook, near Ipswich, was elected 
a Fellow in 1896. His death occurred on the 10th of 
December last, at the age of 69. He was an ardent collector

on March 18, 1827, the son of Thomas Marshall, an original 
member of the Entomological Society. He took a scholarship 
at Trinity College, Oxford, and passed through the Classical 
Honours course. With great powers asa linguist, and a student 
of Hebrew and Sanskrit, he worked for a time on the staff of 
the British Museum Library. Subsequently he took Holy 
Orders, and after engaging in scholastic work, held livings in 
various parts of England, interrupted only by his appoint- 
ment as Bishop’s chaplain in Antigua. In this island he was 
bereft of his wife, and was himself in serious danger from an 
attack of fever. Upon his return to England he was presented, 
in 1889, to the living of Botus Fleming, Cornwall, which he 
retained until 1897, when he retired to Corsica, and devoted 
the remainder of his life to his favourite science. T. A.
