—At the one hundred and eighty-ninth meeting of the 
above Association, September l5th, 1875, Henry Pock- 
lington, F.R.M.S., President, in the chair, Mr. James Abbott 
reported the capture of Colias Edusa on the 5th September, 
on the Otley Road, near Adel Dam, five miles north of Leeds. 
The insect was identified by Mr. W. E. Clarke. Other 
members reported that a specimen of Vanessa Antiopa had 
been taken about a fortnight ago in the neighbourhood of 
Kirkstall Road, Leeds, and was now in the possession of 
Mr. C. W. Liversedge. 
Death of Mr. Charles Tester.—It is with sincere regret I 
record the death of Charles Tester, of Balcombe. He died 
at his residence, Sherlock’s Farm, on the 17th of September, 
at the age of forty-eight, after a very few hours illness. Mr. 
Tester never went far from home in search of insects,— 
Brighton and Lewes being the longest journeys he ever made, 
—but he worked his own locality well. In his youth he met 
with a sad accident by the bursting of a gun, which caused 
the amputation of his left hand; shortly after which his 
brother shot his right hand off, thus leaving him in an almost 
helpless state ; but by various ingenious inventions he could 
manage to use a net and cyanide-bottle; and we have to 
thank him for most of the British examples of Dicranura 
bicuspis, Sesia spheciformis, Notodonta carmelita, Noctua 
ditrapezium, and Cucullia Gnaphalii—Z. G. Meek; 56, 
Brompton Road.
