in London. He began contributing to the Entomologist in 

 1884, was an active member of the City of London (President 

 1896-1899) and South London (President 1899) Entomo- 

 logical and Natural History Societies, a Fellow of the Ento- 

 mological Society of London since 1885, and President-nomin- 

 ate of this last at the time of his death. His chief papers and 

 books are on Melanism; The British Pterophorina; Migration 

 of Insects; The British Noctuae and their varieties (4 vol- 

 umes) : Practical Hints for the Field Lepidopterist (3 vol- 

 umes) ; British Butterflies ; British Moths; Randoms in Al- 

 pine Valleys; Woodside, Burnside, Hillside and Marsh; Ran- 

 dom Recollections and, lastly and chiefly, A Natural History 

 of the British Lepidoptera, of which six thick volumes have 

 appeared, I-V, 1899-1906, treating of Moths, and VHI, 1905- 

 '06, of Butterflies. These last, says Dr. Chapman, "are note- 

 worthy not only for their encyclopedic character in relation to 

 each species handled, but also for the critical discussions on 

 many points of classification and nomenclature. This, how- 

 ever, is not the place for further review, beyond noting the evi- 

 dence aflPorded of Tutt's amazing industry, and the width and 

 vigor of his mental grasp." Elsewhere Dr. Chapman re- 

 marks, "It was simply impossible for him to be idle; he must 

 work away at full steam all the time." 



"His extensive collections, occupying some dozen cabinets 

 are less remarkable for the rarities they contain than for pre- 

 senting many long series, and for being very largely of his 

 own collecting. It is stated that they are to be disposed of 

 during the next two years." 



From our contemporaries also we learn of the deaths of the 

 following entomologists : 



E. A. Levielle, at the age of 70 years; Edwyn Carlos 

 Reed, Director of the Museo de Concepcion, Chile, on No- 

 vember 5, 1910; Elzear Abeille de Perrin, Coleopterist, at 

 Marseilles, aged 68 years, and Prof. Giron, Lepidopterist, of 

 the Belgian Entomological Society.
