FIFTY YEARS' ENTOMOLOGY IN BRISTOL.

Lepidoptera, which were reproduced in Barrett's " Lepidoptera of 
the British Islands." He also was engaged up to nearly the time 
of his death, in making enlarged coloured drawings of the Micro- 
Lepidoptera, but this work remains incomplete. We should also 
refer to his beautifully coloured plaster models of the British 
Fishes, now in the Bristol Museum collections. 
Mr. R. M. Prideaux, F.E.S., has collected Lepidoptera in this 
district, and subsequently in Surrey and Kent, also in Germany 
and Switzerland. He is the author of numerous articles in the 
" Entomologists' Record," and furnished illustrations of Lycaenid 
Butterflies to the late Mr. J. W. Tutt's work on British 
Lepidoptera. 
The late Mr. C. J. Watkins, F.E.S., formed a large collection of 
Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera and Diptera which is now 
at the Bristol Museum, and in course of arrangement. He wrote 
the list of Macro-Lepidoptera for " The Fauna and Flora of 
Gloucestershire," also a most painstaking paper published in the 
International Journal of Microscopy entitled "The Denizens of 
an Old Cherry-tree." In this he enumerated 8 species of 
Coleoptera, i Orthoptera, 14 Hymenoptera, 1 Lepidoptera, 2 
Hemiptera and 22 Diptera ; all found in the rotten wood of an old 
cherry-tree stump. 
Mr. V. R. Perkins and Rev. W. Farren White both contributed 
to the Entomological lists in Witchell and StrugnelP's " Fauna 
and Flora of Gloucestershire," the former being the author of the 
excellent list of Hymenoptera, and the latter of a paper on the 
Ants of Gloucestershire. 
Dr. F. D. Wheeler, F.E.S., though never a member of our 
Society, was an enthusiastic collector of Lepidoptera about 1865, 
previous to his removal to Norfolk, where he became an authority 
on the Fen insects. 
Mr. J. Mason, of Clevedon, a Corresponding Member of the 
Entomological Section, the meetings and excursions of which he 
occasionally attended, collected Lepidoptera from 1870 to about 
1900, and has added several species to our local lists. 
Rev. Joseph Greene, F.E.S., collected Lepidoptera during his 
residence in Clifton, 1870 to 1890, and added much to our know- 
ledge, especially of the local "pugs" — genus Eupithecia. 
Mr. Alan Hill, of Almondsbury, studied Lepidoptera, including 
the Tortrices and Tineina, about 1840 to i860. This is before the 
date of our Society, but it is mentioned because he left a record 
of his captures which proved of great use in the compilation of the 
u Lepidoptera of the Bristol District," published in our Pro- 
ceedings. 
Also before our date, Mr. Sircom, of Brislington, collected 
Lepidoptera, about the years 1840 to 1850, and added some species
