rata and irregularis. I have also observed it in three undescribed 

 species from Wisconsin, Kansas and Colorado respectively. Rh. 

 scaurissima, however, differs from all of these excepting some 

 specimens of the Colorado species in lacking the vein which runs 

 from the posterior cross-vein to the margin. This is all the more 

 remarkable because the male has this vein well developed. 



OBITUARY.

AuGUSTE Salle. — On the fifth of May, in Paris, there died a man 

 whose loss will be sincerely regretted by every American entomologist 

 who had visited that city. Speaking our language fairly well, he was al- 

 ways ready to devote his time in assisting those in need of an interpreter. 

 As an entomologist of no small capacity, and with a large personal ac- 

 quaintance among entomologists, he has proven of immense assistance 

 to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. It is to be regretted that 

 lack of time, owing to the demands of the press, prevent me in giving an 

 extended notice of his services. — G. H. Horn. 



Andrew S. Fuller, widely known as a writer on subjects related to 

 agriculture and horticulture, died suddenly of heart failure on Monday, 

 May 4th, at his home in Ridgewood, N. J., in the sixty-eighth year of his 

 age. Mr. Fuller was agricultural editor of the New York Weekly Sun for 

 more than a quarter of a century, and at different times he had been con- 

 nected with The Rural New Yorker, The Tribune, The Agriculturist 

 and American Gardening. He was the author of several popular books 

 on arboriculture, small fruit culture and the propagation of plants, and he 

 had recently completed a treatise on nut-culture, which he considered his 

 most important work. He was an authority in some branches of ento- 

 mology, an enthusiastic student and experimenter in his chosen field, and 

 was absorbed in his favorite occupations until the very hour of his death. 



Entomological News for May was mailed April 30, 1896.
