monia and pleurisy, and finally by phthisis. Mr. Adye's 
collections have been left to Mr. McKae, of Bournemouth. 
He was elected a Fellow of the Entomological Society of 
London in 1891. 
Major John Nathaniel Still died suddenly on 23rd Sep- 
tember last in the forty-seventh year of his age, whilst 
playing golf on the links at Whitchurch, Tavistock. He 
was the son of John T. Still, Esq., late of Castlehill, 
Axminster, and Mountfield, Musbury. He entered the army 
as an ensign in the 25th Kegiment (King's Own Scottish 
Borderers) in June, 1867, and resigned in 1873, but he sub- 
sequently joined the 3rd Battalion (Militia) of the Royal 
Wiltshire Regiment, and retired with the rank of Major in 
1886. After his retirement he devoted most of his time to 
exploring Dartmoor and other parts of Devon and Cornwall, 
and collecting Lepidoptera. He was elected a Fellow of the 
Entomological Society of London in 1891. 
Lyddon Surrage, B.A., has also died during the past year, 
but I am unable to say anything about his career. He joined 
our Society in 1886. 
Amongst the names of other naturalists and entomologists, 
not Fellows of this Society, who have died during the past 
year the following deserve mention : — 
The Right Hon. Thomas Henry Huxley, LL.D., M.D., 
F.R.S., etc., was born at Ealing, May 24th, 1825, and died 
at Eastbourne, June 29th, 1895. His principal, if not his 
sole contribution to entomology, was the exhaustive memoir 
On the Agamic Reproduction and Morphology of Aphis," 
published in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of 
London, Vol. XXIL, 1858 to 1859. This, of course, had far 
more than a merely entomological importance. Many ento- 
mologists have no doubt studied his " Crayfish," 1879, with 
advantage. Probably no man has done more in our time to 
influence modern thought on the broad questions of philo- 
sophical biology. 
Prof. Carl Edward Adolph Gerstacker, M.D., died on 
July 20th last, at Greifswald, at the age of sixty-seven. He 
was educated for the medical profession and took his degree, 
but devoted himself to zoology, and especially to entomo-
