454 The Ohio Naturalist [Vol. XV, No. 5, 



Dr. Kirtland's work is worth}' of special mention since it ap- 

 peared at a time when but little attention was given to entomologi- 

 cal matters and it appears from papers both in Entomology and 

 Ornithology that he was a man of scientific attainments and his 

 work of special merit. 



He was a professor in the Medical College at Cleveland, but 

 evidently a naturalist of the old school interested in all phases 

 of natural history and making contributions to Botany Ornithol- 

 ogy, Ichthyology and Entomology. His papers* in Entomology, 

 as far as I can discover, appeared during the years 1838, 1841 and 

 1851-57. Several of them relate particularly to Ohio insects. 



Another naturalist of a little later date, Mr. J. Kirkpatrick 

 published a number of articles in the Reports of the Board of 

 Agriculture, "Field Notes" and "Ohio Farmer," during the years 

 1855-68. Also an article on Grape Vine Flea Beetle, in "Field 

 Notes," reprinted in Practical Entom., Vol. I, 1865, p. 40. 



Mr. J. H. Klipioart published a paper on the wheat plant 

 including notices of its parasites, Cincinnati, 1860 and is credited 

 with three articles in Field Notes, 1861, these being discussions 

 with Mr. Walsh upon the life history of the army worm. 



Prof. E. W. Claypole, first of Antioch, later of Buchtel College, 

 a man with extremely broad acquaintance in all branches of 

 Natural History, gave particular attention to the insects of the 

 state. A number of articles in the Canadian Entomologist and 

 other Journals are from his pen. 



Prof. Wright of Oberlin gave some attention to collections but 

 so far as I am aware published no papers which would be considered 

 strictly entomological. 



The work of Mr. Chas. Dury of Cincinnati, is worthy of special 

 mention as his studies have covered a long period of time and have 

 been of a very intensive character, especially with reference to 

 Coleoptera. His papers have appeared mostly in the Journal of 

 the Cincinnati Society of Natural History and constitute a very 

 valuable contribution to the Entomological Literature of the 

 state. Among his papers of special state interest are the Catalog 

 of Coleoptera of Cincinnati and Lists of Lepidoptera for the same 

 locality. He also has contributed largely to the material used by
