  Entomology. 
  

   The

  published 
  by 
  him 
  include 
  notes 
  on 
  (1)

  being 
  

   read 
  before 
  the 
  Sixth 
  Indian 
  Science 
  Congress 
  held 
  in 
  Bombay. 
  All 
  

   these 
  papers 
  were 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  Journal 
  of 
  Medical 
  Research. 
  

   He 
  died 
  during 
  the 
  latter 
  part 
  of 
  1919. 
  

  

  Lord 
  Walsingham, 
  who 
  died 
  in 
  December 
  1919, 
  never 
  visited 
  India 
  

   but 
  was 
  keenly 
  interested 
  in 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  Indian 
  Microlepidoptera 
  and 
  

   I 
  understand 
  that 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  specimens 
  from 
  India 
  and 
  

   especially 
  from 
  the 
  Khasi 
  Hills 
  are 
  contained 
  in 
  his 
  magnificent 
  collect- 
  

   ion 
  which 
  was 
  presented 
  by 
  him 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  His- 
  

   tory). 
  In 
  the 
  earlier 
  days 
  of 
  Entomology 
  in 
  India, 
  several 
  papers 
  on 
  

   Indian 
  Entomology 
  from 
  his 
  pen 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  Indian 
  Museum 
  

   Notes 
  and 
  he 
  also 
  wrote 
  the 
  portions 
  on 
  Microlepidoptera 
  in 
  Moore's 
  

   Lepidoptera 
  of 
  Ceylon 
  and 
  Swinhoe's 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  Heterocera 
  in 
  the 
  

   Oxford 
  Museum. 
  Many 
  of 
  our 
  familiar 
  insect 
  pests, 
  such 
  as 
  Exelastis 
  

   atomosa 
  and 
  Gracillaria 
  theivora, 
  were 
  first 
  described 
  by 
  him, 
  and 
  his 
  

   death, 
  which 
  terminated 
  a 
  long 
  and 
  useful 
  career, 
  came 
  as 
  a 
  loss 
  to 
  us 
  

   in 
  India 
  as 
  to 
  all 
  workers 
  on 
  Microlepidoptera 
  throughout 
  the 
  world. 
  

  

  It 
  may 
  be 
  useful 
  to 
  indicate 
  briefly 
  what 
  is 
  being 
  done 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  

   the 
  Fauna 
  volumes 
  on 
  insects, 
  so 
  that 
  you 
  may 
  be 
  in 
  a 
  position 
  to 
  give 
  

   special 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  specimens 
  and 
  information 
  regarding 
  

   those 
  groups 
  on 
  which 
  volumes 
  are 
  under 
  preparation.
