THE EXTO.UOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
publication of Mr. Armstrong’s com- 
munication in the ‘Intelligencer,’ and it 
formed part of our first conversation. 
I have always been good friends with 
Mr. Armstrong, and it was not owing to 
any petty feeling (for which I have had 
no cause) that I ventured to point out his 
errors; but I have “misrepresented” 
nothing. I could say more to illustrate 
more forcibly that Mr. Armstrong lacks 
the experience necessary to make him 
an authority upon Lepidoplera, — in not 
knowing some of our most showy, con- 
spicuous, and even common species. 
Yours, &c.,

OBITUARY. 
We are sorry to observe recorded, in 
the ‘ Hereford Times’ of February 4th, 
the death of Dr. Edward Bevan, the 
author of ‘The Honey Bee.’ Dr. Bevan 
had been blind for some years, and 
entered his 90lh year in July last. On 
the 31st of January he gradually sunk 
under the burden of years, literally dying 
of old age. 
Like most of those who attain an un- 
usual age, Dr. Bevan was a regular 
early riser.
