School and was graduated from the Medical department of 

 the University of Pennsylvania in 1862. He was the author 

 of a number of important medical works and papers and in 

 the beginning of his career devoted much time to natural 

 history and wrote a number of papers on botany. He re- 

 ceived honorary degrees from several universities and was a 

 member of many learned Societies, including the National 

 Academy of Sciences. Apparently he did not write on in- 

 sects proper but the following list* shows his activity in 

 nearly, related fields of natural history before he became 

 active as a practitioner of medicine.
