to California where he carried on similar work until ill health 

 made necessary his seeking a higher altitude. 



On January 1, 1913 he was transferred to the Office of Cereal 

 and Forage Insect Investigations and stationed at the Salt 

 Lake City Laboratory in Utah. His health continued to fail 

 and in a very few months he again moved, this time to Tempe, 

 Arizona. His extensive experience with truck growing made 

 him dissatisfied with field crop investigations and on September 

 16, 1913 he was transferred back to the Office of Truck Crop 

 Insect Investigations. In October, 1914 he was forced by his 

 continued failing health to request leave without pay, though he 

 remained upon the rolls of the Bureau until the most prevalent 

 disease of mankind finally claimed Him. He died at Phoenix, 

 Arizona on June 26, 1915 in the 33rd year of his life. His re- 

 mains were temporarily interred at Phoenix and finally brought 

 east and placed in the final resting place in Bridgeport on October 

 8, 1915. 



He was a member of the American Association of Economic 

 Entomologists, the American Entomological Society, and the 

 Entomological Society of Washington. He joined the last named 

 Society on December 10, 1908 and was an active member until 

 his death. During the latter years of his life he gave particular 

 attention to the Thysanoptera, upon which he published some 

 very important papers, recording the first parasite ever reared 

 from this order. Undoubtedly he. would have taken rank with 

 our foremost economic workers but for the unfortunate chain of 

 circumstances which terminated in his death.
