found ; aud, as they came early and he did not rise very soon, he 

 often had occasion to receive his visitors in bed and there 

 examine the contents of the boxes which they had brouglit, 

 having a good laugh at some when they had brought anything 

 worthless, and a hearty commeudation for others who had got 

 something good, aud a friendly greeting with liberal payment 

 for all. 



Mr. Hamlet Clark became a Fellow of the Society on the 21st 

 of June 1860, but never communicated anything to our Publica- 

 tions. He enjoyed an extensive reputation as an Entomologist, 

 in which science his labours were, I believe, chiefly confined to 

 the Arachnidse and DytiscidsB among the Coleoptera, upon which 

 he has published numerous papers in the 'Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural History,' Newman's ' Zoologist,' and the ' Transactions 

 of the Entomological Society ; ' whilst in 1856 he published, in 

 conjunction with Mr. J. F. Dawson, ' A Eearrangement of the 

 Nomenclature and Synonymy of the Geodephaga, Hydradephaga, 

 and part of the Philhydrida,' being the first portion of a General 

 British Catalogue. 



Shortly before his death he published a small octavo volume 

 entitled ' Letters home from Spain, Algeria, and Brazil during 

 past Entomological Eambles.' As these letters date as far back 

 as 1856 and 1857, they cannot be said to contain anything new 

 in the scientific way ; but they are written in a pleasing and easy 

 style, and not only indicate plainly the acute powers of observa- 

 tion of the lamented author, but also show the simplicity and 

 amiability of his character.

 cian at Brighton, and had been a Fellow of the Society since 

 1835. He died at Norwood on the 15th of August 1867, aged 55. 

 I regret that I have as yet been unable to procure any further 

 information respecting him.

He was born on the 11th of February 1795, at Stratton, in 

 Gloucestershire, and was the third son of the Eev. James Daubeny. 

 He entered "Westminster School in 1808, and was elected to a 

 Demyship in Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1810. In 1814, at
