posed for new Tortricids and substitutes were suggested. 

 Under the title "Microlepidoptera Suggestions" he published 

 a series of valuable directions for pinning, setting, collecting 

 and breeding. 



He was a jolly companion in the field and always extended 

 a warm welcome to fellow students visiting his home and in- 

 specting his collection. 



Several years ago his eyes failed him for work on these 

 minute insects ; he gave up their study ; his Tortricidae be- 

 came the property of the American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory in New York, and Dr. William Barnes, of Decatur, Illi- 

 nois, obtained his Pyralidae. 



Mr. Kearfott was born in Berkeley County, West Virginia, 

 on January 12, 1864, and was the son of Robert and Anna 

 Dunham Kearfott. He was educated in preparatory schools 

 in Richmond and Philadelphia. In his earlier years he was 

 connected with the Morton Poole Company, of Wilmington, 

 Delaware, and the International Navigation Company, of 

 Philadelphia. He was associated also with the Worthington 

 Steam Pump Company and later with the Warren Steam 

 Pump Company. Two years ago he formed the Kearfott 

 Engineering Company. He was considered an authority on 

 his branch of engineering. 



His home was at 220 Orange Road, Montclair, New Jersey. 

 He took an interest in local affairs, being a member of the 

 Montclair Club and the Montclair Golf Club. 



Mr. Kearfott is survived by his wife, Mary J. Kearfott ; a 

 daughter, Marie, and a son, Thornton Kearfott. HENRY 

 SKINNER.
