356 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Another example in Mr. Hubbard's excellence as an explorer is 

 furnished by his work on the gopher insects. This was done 

 under the most difficult circumstances, to which those who have 

 since tried to repeat the work have borne witness in print. 



It is much to be regretted that Mr. Hubbard scattered his 

 activity over so many fields, The result is that we have much 

 fewer papers from his pen than his great knowledge would seem 

 to warrant. Those that we have are written with great clearness 

 and always to the point. He showed the same characteristics in 

 his personal correspondence, as can be seen by his letters, some of 

 which are now being published in these Proceedings and elsewhere. 

 Mr. Hubbard was, on occasion, an excellent draughtsman, as 

 shown by the admirable figures accompanying several of his 

 papers. 



Mr. Hubbard did not often appear before the public, but his 

 speeches were always interesting and he knew how to keep the 

 attention of his audience. His papers have been reported in the 

 daily press, but unfortunately have not been preserved in their 

 original form. He was a good talker, especially among a circle 

 of entomological friends. 



With all his knowledge, his transcendent ability as a naturalist, 

 with his education and social standing, he was the simplest, most 

 modest, most genuine, most kind-hearted of men. He was abso 

 lutely without pretension, and his death is a loss not only to his 

 family, not only to his circle of friends and fellow-workers, not 

 only to the world of science, but also to the world of humanity. 



The following bibliography is not absolutely complete. A 

 great many articles were published in the more fugitive press 

 and cannot now be brought together. Neither does it include his 

 contributions to botany or practical horticulture.
