﻿( 
  Hi 
  ) 
  

  

  actor 
  and 
  theatre 
  proprietor, 
  all 
  his 
  leisure 
  time 
  being 
  devoted 
  

   to 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  Entomology 
  generally, 
  but 
  chiefly 
  of 
  North 
  

   America, 
  his 
  collection 
  in 
  this 
  branch 
  of 
  Entomology 
  being 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  in 
  that 
  country. 
  Mr. 
  Edwards 
  

   was 
  a 
  great 
  traveller, 
  and 
  in 
  his 
  professional 
  capacity 
  visited 
  

   the 
  chief 
  centres 
  of 
  population 
  in 
  Australia 
  and 
  New 
  Zealand. 
  

   He 
  latterly 
  resided 
  in 
  New 
  York, 
  where 
  he 
  died 
  last 
  year. 
  

   He 
  was 
  a 
  frequent 
  contributor 
  to 
  several 
  of 
  the 
  leading 
  

   entomological 
  journals 
  of 
  America, 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  described 
  

   many 
  species, 
  chiefly 
  Heterocera, 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  North 
  

   American 
  fauna 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  Mexico. 
  

  

  Robert 
  Guulo, 
  well 
  known 
  as 
  a 
  successful 
  collector 
  of 
  

   Coleoptera 
  in 
  the 
  West 
  of 
  England, 
  and 
  Dr. 
  J. 
  M.

  af 
  

   Tengstrobi, 
  a 
  distinguished 
  Micro-Lepidopterist 
  of 
  Finland, 
  

   have 
  also 
  passed 
  away. 
  

  

  In 
  conclusion, 
  I 
  beg 
  leave 
  to 
  thank 
  all 
  the 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  

   Society 
  who 
  have 
  so 
  kindly 
  supported 
  me 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  

   year, 
  and 
  especially 
  the 
  Officers, 
  from 
  whom 
  I 
  have 
  had 
  every 
  

   consideration.
