Shuttleworth, a gentleman who had for many years taken a 

 considerable interest in Entomology, had been taken from us. 

 Mr. Shuttleworth was known to several of our members, and 

 he had signified his intention of offering himself as a candi- 

 date for membership, but his untimely decease prevented his 

 intention being carried into effect. 



And looking further, to the ranks of the great body of 

 students of Biological Science, we have to deplore the loss of 

 many learned men and ardent workers ; among them : — 



Rev. C. S. Tress-Beale, M.A. More than thirty years 

 ago, when living at Tenterden, Kent, he supplied that locality 

 where cited in Stainton's " Manual of British Butterflies and 

 Moths." He afterwards resided at Alkham, near Dover, where 

 he added the pretty CnepJiasia cinctana^ Schiff., to our lists, 

 and ultimately returned to Tenterden, where he died, Dec. 23, 

 1885. 



J. B. Jeaffreson, M.R.C.S., for some time President of

 North of London as a diligent worker with the microscope in 

 biological research, died Jan. 12th. 



Rev. W. W. NEW130ULD, F.L.S., died April i6th. His 

 special study was our native British plants, and several of our 

 local county floras owe much to his co-operation.

 of a Scottish Naturalist," died April 27th. Born on Christ- 

 mas-day, 1 8 14, he early in life showed a great love for 

 mammals, insects,'and creatures of every description, and many 

 amusing anecdotes are told to illustrate his extreme fondness 

 for even the most repulsive subjects in the animal kingdom. 

 His researches added greatly to the knowledge of Natural 

 History, as he embodied his new discoveries in papers written 

 to scientific magazines, etc. After the publication of his 

 biography by Smiles, he was raised from comparative poverty 

 to a condition of comfort by the presentation to him of some 

 ;^300, the result of a subscription, and the award of an 

 annual pension of £"^0 by the Queen. Recently a scheme 

 has been set on foot for the erection, by subscription, of a
