THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



I cannot pretend to give a list of the species he has introduced to the 

 British Fauna, or to Science. In the first Volume of the Entomologists* 

 Annual, published in 1854, his name appears as the discoverer of Miana 

 expolita. In the last volume of the Entomologists' Monthly Magazine (1 886;, 

 he figures as the introducer of Gelechia tetragonella, another species new to 

 science, found in the salt marshes near here. He was never anxious to have 

 his name in print, and whatever species he discovered he allowed others to 

 describe and name. Gelechia Sangiella was named in his honour by his 

 friend Mr. Stainton ; it was another of the species new to science, he dis- 

 covered and worked out. 



Mr. Sang was never married, yet was a thoroughly domestic man, fond of 

 home, and very fond of children, who seemed to know his liking for them 

 intuitively and took liberties with him accordingly. He was also passionately 

 fond of music, especially sacred music. He was one of the founders of the 

 Darlington Choral Society, and it is said, he could sing most of the oratorios 

 without the music. 



He passed away in his sleep, between Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 

 20th March, quite unexpectedly. He had suffered for a long time from an 

 internal complaint, which though troublesome and occasionally painful, was 

 not likely to prove fatal, and he died of heart disease, which he was not sus- 

 pected to be afflicted with. Quiet and unassuming in life, his death was 

 equally quiet. He could not have borne to be a trouble to those about him. 

 He was interred beside his mother, in Darlington Cemetery, on Tuesday, 

 March 22nd. — John Gardner, Hartlepool, 26th March.

 N. Rtjbi. — One specimen at sugar, Bishop's Wood. September. 



N. Baja, — Rare at sugar. August. Highgate, Hampstead, and Lynd- 

 hurst. The larva feeds on hornbeam, bramble, bird-cherry, &c ; it may be 

 taken (generally just about to change its skin) about the beginning of April 

 to beginning of May, and is then pale pinkish ochreons, with smoky lozenges 

 outlined down the back and oblique smoky lines along the sides ; it is very 

 delicate, and subject to the attacks of a small Microgaster (?) spinning a 

 bright canary-yellow coccoon outside the larva after its escape. I have never 

 captured a full-fed larva, and like the Xanthia it remains rather over a month
