Major- General George Garden, F.E.S., died, after a few days' illness, from the 

 effects of influenza, at Douglas Towers, Bromley, Kent, on Monday, the 12th Feb- 

 ruary last, aged 56. He entered the Army in 1854, as an Ensign in the 77th foot, 

 and served with his regiment in the Crimean War. He subsequently served with 

 the 5th foot (now known as " the Northumberland Fusiliers ") during the Indian 

 Mutiny Campaign, and was Lieut.-Colonel commanding the regiment for some years. 



Colonel Carden (who was granted a year's service for Lucknow, and was in 

 receipt of a pension for " distinguished service ") retired on half-pay in 1882, and 

 received the rank of Major-Q-eneral in 1887. On retiring from the Army in 1882, 

 he took up his residence in Surbiton, and remained there until he left for Bromley 

 in 1892. He joined the Entomological Society of London in 1890. 



General Carden made no pretensions to be a scientific entomologist, but he was 

 a close observer, and an active collector of Lepidoptera in various parts of the United 

 Kingdom. His small collection consisted exclusively of insects obtained by himself 

 in the woods and fields, or bred from larvae which he had collected. During the 

 past six years the writer of this notice made many pleasant excursions with him. 

 In July and August, 1891, the deceased spent his annual holiday of six or seven 

 weeks in South Devon, and obtained a long series of Callimorpha Hera, several of 

 which he generously presented to the writer. 



He was a good musician, both theoretically and practically. He was also an 

 accomplished artist, and lost no opportunity, when away on his entomological 

 excursions, of sketching and painting the most picturesque scenes amongst which 

 his rambles led him. As a man of business he did good service, after his retirement 

 from the Army up to the time of his death, as Secretary of the Eochester Diocesan 

 Society, and he will be much missed at 49, Parliament Street. 



Although apparently a shy, cold, and reserved man amongst strangers, intimate 

 acquaintance proved him to be a kind hearted and genial companion, and his pre- 

 mature death makes a gap in a wide circle of friends which will not easily be filled 

 up. The deceased leaves a widow and nine children to mourn the loss of an affec- 

 tionate husband and father. — H. Goss.
