London in 1891, and served on its Council in 1902-4 and 

 again from 1906 till the time of his death. Although he took 

 a keen interest in general entomology his favourite order 

 was the Coleoptera. 



Martin Jacoby, who died December 24th, 1907, aged sixty- 

 five years, will also be remembered by many of you in the same 

 connection. Although not himself a member of the Entomo- 

 logical Club, he had come to be regarded as one of the 

 features of Mr. Verrall's meetings, where for many years 

 past he had annually delighted the company during the 

 latter part of the evenings by his violin playing, of which 

 instrument he was a master. He was an ardent Coleopterist, 

 and had written several important monographs on various 

 sections of that order. He was a Fellow of the Entomological 

 Society from 1886, served on its Council in 1897 and 1898, 

 and was a very regular attendant at its meetings. 



John Emmerson Robson, of Hartlepool, was for many 

 years one of the leading lights among the northern Lepi- 

 dopterists, and well known to many of us as a respected 

 correspondent ; he also took a keen interest in natural 

 history matters generally, and with a view to fostering a 

 taste for nature study he founded the " Young Naturalist," 

 a penny weekly magazine, in 1879, and for some years it was 

 carried on under his management. He was elected a Fellow 

 of the Entomological Society in 1890. He died February 

 28th, 1907, aged seventy-four years. 



John Harrison, of Barnsley, was also well known as a 

 north country Lepidopterist. He was one of the founders 

 of the Barnsley Naturalists' Society, now one of the most 

 flourishing in South Yorkshire ; was elected a Fellow of the 

 Entomological Society in 1889, and was an active collector 

 almost to the last. He passed away on July nth, 1907, 

 aged seventy-three years. 



W. J. Cross, of Ely, was also well known as a keen Lepi- 

 dopterist. He died on March 20th, 1907, aged seventy-three 

 years. 



Henry Alfred Auld was a member of the Society from 1888 

 to 1897. In spite of the comparatively early age at which 

 he died — fifty-three years — he was quite one of the old school 

 of Lepidopterists, taking an intense pride in his collection, 

 and when in the field neither hunger nor fatigue would turn 

 him from his purpose. He died December 28th, 1907. 



Henry Guard Knaggs, Doctor of Medicine, and at one 

 time a Fellow of the Linnean and Entomological Societies, 

 died January 16th, 1908, aged seventy-four years. He will
