WE regret to have to announce the death of P. W. Schimper, the well-known Professor of Palæontology in the University of Strassburg, and of Dr. R. H. C. C. Scheffer, the amiable and accomplished director of the Botanic Garden, Buitenzorg, Java, at the early age of thirty-five. Also of two foreign entomologists—Herr Hellmuth von Kiesenwetter at Dresden, in the sixtieth year of his age, and Dr. Snellen van Vollenhoven, formerly Conservator of the Leyden Museum, one of the foremost entomologists of Holland, and author of “Faune Entomologique des Indes Orientales.”
