THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



the movement for the amelioration of social conditions in his beloved 

 Russia. With true Russian hospitality, he kept open house for 

 thoughtful men of the varied interests. He was Vice-President of the 

 Russian Entomological Society, which means acting chairman, for the 

 post of president was reserved for one of the Grand Dukes, and he 

 was president of the Zoological Section of the Imperial Russian Geo- 

 graphical Society, an organisation which led a separate existence 

 independently of the mother-body. His death is a very great loss to 

 Palaearctic Entomology. 



When at Salonika, I used to receive a cheerful postcard from him 

 every fortnight, till suddenly they ceased, and as I began to miss the 

 characteristic handwriting, I felt that I had lost one of my very best 

 friends. 



The same lady reports that A. Kuznetsov, the great authority on 

 Russian Lepidoptera, has succeeded in escaping to Finland. — M.B.

It is fully anticipated that the Entomological Society will be in- 

 stalled in its new premises, 41, Queen's Gate, South Kensington, by 

 March 25th next at the latest. The Imperial Bureau of Entomology, 

 who will occupy the surplus rooms not at present required by the 

 Society, have already moved in. The further decoration, repairs and 

 alterations (fewj, which have to be made, are rapidly nearing com- 

 pletion. The removal and re-arrangement of the Society's Library is 

 a matter requiring more time. Already the bookcases and shelving 

 have been transferred and are being refitted and enlarged, much of the 

 new material, bookcases and shelves, having been generously donated 

 to the Society by Dame Alice Godman. Of course during the period 

 of transition it is impossible for Fellows to use the Library, and all 

 books borrowed have been called in. We understand that the large 

 meeting room will be available for scientific meetings at times when it 

 is not required by the Society. It is situated on the first floor, and 

 when fully fitted will seat at least a 100 persons, with ample cloak- 

 room and lavatory accommodation.
