his "Eevisional Moiiogvaph." The materials are scanty, but allowing, in some cases, 

 for slight colour-differences, -which may possibly be due to local influences, all are, 

 perhaps, referable to European forms. 



Ephemera glancops, Pict. One $ sub-imago from Nicolaijefk at the mouth of 

 the Amur. Upon comparison with European specimens the identity seems certain ; 

 but I would remark that the markings of the abdomen are as prominent as is usually 

 the case in the imago of European individuals, in which they are mostly obliterated 

 or very faintly indicated in the sub-imago. 



Siphlurus lacustris, Etn.?? One S imago from Pokrofka on the Eastern Amur. 

 The ventral U-shaped markings are nearly continuous on all the segments, which 

 is not the case in the type-form, but occurs in specimens, possibly not lacustris, 

 collected by Mr. Eaton in the Yal Mazza, North Italy. But, supposing these latter to 

 be distinct from lacustris, there are characters in the anal parts, &c., of the Amur $ , 

 that seem to differentiate it therefrom. 



Heptagenia sulphtirea, Miiller. The $ imago from Nicolaijefk does not 

 apparently differ from European individuals. A ? sub-imago from Chabarofka on 

 the Amur is somewhat doubtful. 



Heptagenia flava, Eostock. One ? imago, and three ? sub-imagos, do not 

 apparently differ from European individuals ; they also are from Nicolaijefk. 



The JEphemeridcB of Eastern Siberia and Amurland, being hitherto practically 

 unknown, I agree with Mr. Eaton that it is desirable to place these four species upon 

 record. — Id. : June, 1887. 



Pierre Milliere died suddenly, in the 74th year of his age, on May 29th, at his 

 residence at Cannes— we beUeve of angina pectoris. He had been in the enjoyment 

 of his usual health till the previous day, when a sudden attack of illness caused him 

 some uneasiness, but it speedily passed off, and no apprehension was entertained. 

 A return of the malady on the 29th proved more serious, and in half an hour he 

 was no more. 



Of his early career we have no information. He joined the Entomological 

 Society of France in 1851, and in the same year his first published note on an 

 Entomological subject appeared in the " Bulletin " of that Society. This related to 

 the experimental poisoning of two young sparrows by larvse of Deilephila enphorbioe, 

 which had fed on Euphorbia cyparissias. At that time he was living at Lyon, which 

 continued to be his residence for many years. In the Annales Soc. Ent. France, 

 1854, pp. 59 — 68, he gave a descriptive paper of several new Micro-Lepidoptera, 

 some of which were taken on the summit of Mont Pilat near Lyon. 



In April, 1855, he visited Hyeres, where, in the stems of Asphodelus ramosus, 

 which grows so abundantly in many parts of the Eiviera, he met with the larvse 

 which furnished him with an interesting new Tortrix, Byerana (Ann. Soc. Ent. 

 France, 1857, p. 799, pi. 14, No. iii). In 1858 he collected at La Grrande Chartreuse. 

 Several weeks of the spring of 1859 and much of the following winter were spent at 

 Hyeres, and thenceforward, till he settled at Cannes, a large portion of each winter 

 was passed in the South of France on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. It 

 was in 1858 that Milliere commenced a series of Papers in the " Annales de la 

 Societe Linne^nne de Lyon," under the title : — " Iconographie et Description de
