PHILIP REESE UHLER. 



The Entomological Society of Washington learns with deep 

 regret of the death, on October 21, of Dr. P. R, Uhler, of Balti- 

 more, one of the founders of this society and one of its most dis- 

 tinguished members. 



He was the first, and for many years, the only American au- 

 thority on the order of Hemiptera, and though he published but 

 little in recent years on account of his failing health, he will be 

 remembered as one of the illustrious group, LeConte, Horn, Scud- 

 der, Osten Sacken, Edwards, and Cresson, who by their diligent 

 and excellent work, brought American systematic entomology to 

 that prominence which it has ever since maintained. 



His genial nature, his kindness in helping younger students, and 

 his charming hospitality will long be a cherished memory. 



The Entomological Society of Washington desires to record its 

 realization of the loss to the Society as well as to American Ento- 

 mology, and to express to the family of Dr. Uhler its regard and 

 sympathy.
