Obituary 



GEORGE MACLOSKIE, professor of biology at Princeton 

 University from 1875 to 1906 and emeritus professor since 

 1906, died at Princeton, New Jersey, January 4, 1920. To 

 Professor Conklin of that University, we are indebted for 

 copies of a notice of Prof. Macloskie's life, which appeared in 

 The Princeton Alumni Weekly of January 14, and of the reso- 

 lutions adopted by the University faculty, January 5, pub- 

 lished in the Princeton Packet. From these the following 

 abstract has been prepared. To Professor W. M. Rankin, of 

 the same institution, we owe the list of Prof. Macloskie's 

 entomological papers printed below. 



George Macloskie was born at Castletown, Ireland, Sept- 

 ember 14, 1834, received the A. B. and A. M. degrees from 

 Queen's University, Belfast, in 1857 and 1858, and LL. B. and 

 LL. D. in course from London University in 1868 and 1871. 

 Ordained a minister of the Presbyterian church in 1861, he 

 was pastor at Ballygoney, Ireland, from 1861 to 1874. The 

 interest he displayed in natural history caused President 

 McCosh of Princeton, at one time his teacher, to call him to 

 the chair of that subject, in the recently established John C. 

 Green School of Science, in 1875.
