Asiatic Society and Bombay Natural History Society. For 

 some years after 1880 he worked at the Indian Museum, 

 Calcutta ; he then became Deputy Clerk of the Small Cause 

 Court in Calcutta; and in 1900 he was appointed Government 

 Entomologist in the Indian Museum, and it was during an 

 official visit to investigate insect pests on tea estates in the 

 Sikhim Terai that he contracted the malarial fever which 

 caused his death on the 3rd of December, 1901, which might 

 perhaps have been avoided but for his inveterate dislike to 

 sleeping under mosquito curtains. His magnificent collection 

 of butterflies has been most fitly purchased by the Indian 

 Museum and will be available for students in India. 



Professor W. P. Dickson was not a working Entomologist, 

 but represented the University of Glasgow as a Fellow of the 

 Society : he was elected in 1886. 



Dr. H. W. Ltvett resided at Wells, where he was one of 

 the leading citizens, and was very much respected by all classes 

 of the community. He began the study of Lepidoptera in 

 France in 1836, and in 1858 he began to collect in England, 

 and continued to do so for forty years : he had a large 

 garden in which he used to take many good things : he 

 was one of the chief promoters and supporters of the Wells 

 Natural History Society, of which he was at one time the 

 President. 



In Mr. H. W. Vivian, who was elected a Fellow in 1889, 

 the Society has lost, at an early age, a Fellow who, if he 

 had lived, might have done very valuable work : he was 

 chiefly interested in the Lepidoptera. 



Mr. C. E. Collins had only been a Fellow for a short time, 

 having been elected in 1899 : he was a very promising worker 

 at British Coleoptera and Hemiptera. 



Among foreign Entomologists we may perhaps mention 

 M. Alexandre Constant, who died near Cannes, France, on 

 May 13, aged 72 : he was a Lepidopterist, especially a Micro- 

 Lepidopterist, and essentially a field naturalist, and in this 

 capacity an unselfish helper of others, but he published 

 several papers on novelties in Lepidoptera and notes on habits, 

 etc., and also wrote a long and valuable catalogue of the 

 Lepidoptera of the department of Saone and Loire.
