OBITUARY. 
We are sorry to record the death of the 
Rev. H. Kirby, rector of Great Walding- 
field, on the 29th ult, at the age of 64. 
Though Mr. Kirby’s name first appeared 
only in our last List of Entomologists, he 
had long been attached to the study of 
insects, though Botany was more a spe- 
cial favourite with him : he had endea- 
voured, not altogether without success, 
to interest the school children of Wal- 
dingfield in similar pursuits; no doubt 
stimulated in this cause by the suc- 
cess which his college friend Professor 
Henslow had met with in teaching 
Botany to the children at Hitcliam.
