Professor Samuel Wendell Williston. 



We present herewith, as a frontispiece (Plate XVIII) to 

 the present November number of the NEWS, a portrait of the 

 late eminent dipterologist, Professor Samuel Wendell Willis- 

 ton. The photograph from which it was taken is an old one, 

 probably dating from the eighteen-eighties, which were the 

 years when Dr. Williston was most active in his entomological 

 work. In later years his appearance was very different, as 

 those who saw him at recent meetings of the Entomological 

 Society of America will recall. We understand that a more 

 familiar portrait, of a date of four or five years ago, will prob- 

 ably appear in another journal, but that which we offer here 

 more nearly corresponds to that of the dipterologist than to 

 that of the paleontologist. Klsewhere in this issue. Dr. Willis- 

 ton's life and career is very appreciatively and sympathetically 

 sketched by his friend and pupil, ProtY-^or \1drich.
