The Lepidopterists' Society has recently suffered the loss of two of its most notable members. One of the five Honorary Life Members, G D. Hale Carpenter, Hope Professor of Entomology Emeritus of Oxford University, died after a long illness on 30 January at the age of 70 years. He was the leading authority on mimicry and on the systematics of several groups of butterflies, particularly of Africa. W. PRESCOTT ROGERS, of Fall River, Massachusetts, died on 6 May, also following a period of illness. Mr. ROGERS concentrated his interest on the butterflies of New England. Biographical accounts of these lamented friends of the Society will appear in the News.
