kansas, both father and son being in service at the close of the 

 war at Prairie Grove, Arkansas. 



After his graduation in medicine he associated himself in 

 practice with his father in Winchendon, where father and son 

 together conducted "The Highlands," a private institution for 

 the treatment of mental and nervous invalids, established by 

 Dr. Ira Russell, and one of the first of its kind. 



After the death of his father, in 1888, Dr. F. W. Russell 

 continued "The Highlands" up to three years ago, when from 

 ill health he gave up active work to make his home (together 

 with his wife, Mrs. Caroline Marvin Russell, who survives 

 him) with his daughter, Mrs. Frank J. Hall, in Dallas. Dur- 

 ing his brief residence in Dallas, because of his genial nature 

 and interest in all social and scientific bodies, he made many 

 friends. 



In- connection with his medical studies, Dr. Russell made a 

 lifetime study of entomologv and formed a collection of moths. 



His remains were taken by his son, Walter M. Russell, of 

 Emporia, Kansas, to Winchendon, Mass., where they were 

 laid to rest in the family lot. — F. J. H. 



[Dr. Russell was a substantial friend of the News in its 

 early days and his interest in the journal was continued to the 

 last. The number for April, 191 5, contains an illustrated ar- 

 ticle from his pen : "A Remarkable Abdominal Structure in 

 Certain Moths."] 



A card from ^Nlr. P. Wytsman, from Brussels (Belgium), 

 informs me of the death of M. Charles Kerremans, which 

 occurred on the tenth of October, 191 5, at the age of 68 years. 

 M. Kerremans was a student of the Buprestids, and his great 

 monograph of this family remains, unfortunately, unfinished 

 with the first part of the seventh volume of this monumental 

 work. — A. Fenyes, Pasadena, Calif.
