man, to the New Forest with Mr. Bond, and his diaries 

 mention Black Park (near Slough), Freshwater, Lowestoft 

 (where he caught mznyNoctuae at night in the lighthouse), 

 and other places among his collecting grounds. During 

 his two years at Southport and his visits to Scotland he 

 also added a good deal to his collections. His renewed 

 acquaintance with Brockenhurst in 1895 gave him great 

 pleasure, as did also a visit to Birdlip (in the Cotswolds) 

 in the summer of 1 899, when I was able to introduce him 

 to some new hunting-grounds and to the haunts of some 

 species that are always interesting to the Lepidopterist. 

 But most of his work, both in general entomology and in 

 arachnology, was done in Dorset. He was very loyal to 

 his county, and when we were children I remember that 

 we used to welcome the discovery of a species c new to 

 Dorset ' with almost as much excitement as that of a 

 species c new to Britain ' or c new to science '. 



His collection of Lepidoptera, which has now passed 

 to me, includes the two specimens of Lycaena argtades 

 taken at Bloxworth in 1885- ; the first and for many years 

 the only British specimen ofHypena obsltalis ; a specimen 

 of Deiopeta pulchella, taken by Mr. Howard Lacey near 

 Wareham ; a short series of Lithocolletis andertdae ; plenty 

 of some local species which were at times regular or 

 abundant at Bloxworth Noctua dttrapeztum^ Ueliothis 

 dipsacea, Oenectra pHlerana, Psortcoptera gibhosella^ Cosmo- 

 pteryx orichalcella, Actptilia paludum ' y some of the old 

 New Forest species among them Cleora viduaria, and
