many of his acts of usefulness in the Science of Entomology. 

 It is intended to raise a monument to his memory in Staly- 

 bridge ; and already a goodly amount of money has been 

 subscribed by the friends and admirers of Natural Science ; 

 and should any of his friends, elsewhere, feel desirous of 

 contributing to so praiseworthy an object, their subscriptions 

 can be directed to the Secretary of the Staly bridge 

 Naturalist's Club, and will be duly acknowledged. Perhaps, 

 if any should wish to transmit through you, you would oblige 

 us by receiving their donations, and transmitting them to 

 us at your convenience. — Communicated by D. Jolliffe; 

 Secretary to the Stalyhridge Naturalist's Club, Stalyhridge,

Death of Mr. Henry Denny^ A.L,S. — Mr. Henry Denny,

 jubilee, the council — although always changing hands, and 

 now entirely changed from what it was when Mr. Denny 

 entered the service of the Society — scarcely ever neglected 

 the opportunity of referring to the advantages conferred upon 

 the institute through the exertions of its curator. In the last 

 report testimony is borne to the ready munificence of the 

 Leeds townsmen in contributing to the completeness of the

 were being formed by the Society, he was never at rest until,
