  and 
  continued, 
  with 
  the 
  aid 
  of 
  fellow-workers 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  

   subject, 
  until 
  his 
  death. 
  It 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  hoped 
  that 
  this 
  important 
  

   work 
  will 
  be 
  continued 
  by 
  some 
  other 
  competent 
  hyme- 
  

   nopterist, 
  and 
  brought 
  to 
  a 
  conclusion. 
  

  

  William 
  Ebenezer 
  Poole, 
  who 
  died 
  on 
  May 
  22nd 
  last, 
  at 
  

   the 
  age 
  of 
  65, 
  was 
  well 
  known 
  to 
  all 
  of 
  us 
  who 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  

   habit 
  of 
  using 
  our 
  Library 
  and 
  attending 
  our 
  Meetings. 
  He 
  

   acted 
  as 
  Eesident 
  Librarian 
  from 
  the 
  time 
  we 
  occupied 
  our 
  

   present 
  rooms, 
  and 
  continued 
  in 
  that 
  office 
  until 
  his 
  death. 
  

   He 
  joined 
  the 
  Society 
  as 
  a 
  member 
  in 
  1885. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  also 
  lost 
  John 
  Withekington 
  Peers, 
  who 
  joined 
  

   us 
  in 
  1887. 
  

  

  Of 
  entomologists 
  not 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  Society, 
  who 
  have 
  

   died 
  during 
  1891, 
  I 
  find 
  the 
  following 
  well-known 
  names 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Felipe 
  Poey, 
  who 
  died 
  at 
  Havana, 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  his 
  birth, 
  

   at 
  the 
  advanced 
  age 
  of 
  92, 
  devoted 
  a 
  large 
  portion 
  of 
  his 
  life 
  

   to 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  Natural 
  History 
  of 
  his 
  native 
  island, 
  Cuba. 
  

   His 
  principal 
  work 
  was 
  on 
  Ichthyology, 
  but 
  he 
  wrote 
  several 
  

   papers 
  on 
  the 
  Lepidoptera 
  of 
  Cuba, 
  and 
  studied 
  other 
  orders 
  

   of 
  insects 
  of 
  that 
  island. 
  

  

  Sir 
  William 
  Macleay, 
  whose 
  death 
  was 
  recently 
  announced, 
  

   though 
  not 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  our 
  Society, 
  was 
  a 
  liberal 
  patron 
  of 
  

   Natural 
  History 
  in 
  Australia. 
  He 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  

   family 
  as 
  William 
  Sharp 
  Macleay, 
  the 
  contemporary 
  of 
  

   Horsfield 
  and 
  Swainson, 
  so 
  well 
  known 
  for 
  his 
  writings. 
  

   Sir 
  William 
  Macleay 
  settled 
  in 
  New 
  South 
  Wales 
  in 
  1839 
  at 
  

   the 
  age 
  of 
  19, 
  and 
  gradually 
  rose 
  to 
  distinction 
  in 
  the 
  Colony. 
  

   He 
  was 
  the 
  founder 
  and 
  first 
  President 
  of 
  the 
  Entomological 
  

   Society 
  of 
  New 
  South 
  Wales, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  Liunean 
  Society 
  of 
  

   New 
  South 
  Wales, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  publications 
  of 
  both 
  Societies 
  

   numerous 
  and 
  valuable 
  papers 
  by 
  him 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found. 
  He 
  

   wrote 
  chiefly 
  on 
  Coleoptera, 
  but 
  also 
  occasionally 
  on 
  other 
  

   orders 
  of 
  Insecta. 
  

  

  Henry 
  Edwards 
  will 
  be 
  much 
  missed 
  by 
  entomologists 
  

   both 
  in 
  Europe 
  and 
  America, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  in 
  Australia, 
  where 
  

   he 
  was 
  known 
  and 
  esteemed 
  by 
  a 
  very 
  wide 
  circle 
  of 
  friends. 
  

   An 
  Englishman 
  by 
  birth, 
  Mr. 
  Edwards 
  lived 
  the 
  later 
  years 
  

   of 
  his 
  life 
  in 
  America, 
  where 
  he 
  was 
  well 
  known 
  as 
  an
