IN MEMOEIAM.

Several thousands of species are recorded ; and it is very- 

 certain that a considerable number which used to occur have 

 now disappeared owing to building, draining, quarrying and 

 the reclamation of waste land. Immense changes have taken 

 place in Guernsey since those far-away days in the sixties 

 when young Luff first began to collect butterflies and 

 moths ; and the work he has accomplished during the suc- 

 ceeding period could never be done now. But, happily, all is 

 on record, and what is done has been done well. 



Another name has to be inscribed on the roll of Guern- 

 sey-men who have made their mark in the world of science. 

 One of these days it is to be hoped some member of this 

 Society will compile a series of biographical sketches of the 

 Sarnian naturalists, giving details of their lives and their 

 work. When this is done, an important place will certainly 

 be reserved for the entomologist who forms the subject of this 

 imperfect and inadequate memoir.
