228 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Sir, — I desire, on behalf of the Entomological Society of Ontario, 

 to acknowledge the receipt — through Mr. H. H. Lyman, of Montreal — 

 of the specimens of Nemeophila petrosa and plantaginis from which the 

 plate was made for illustrating Mr. Bean's paper in the April number of 

 Can. Ent., — in excellent condition, 



J. Alston Moffat, Curator. 



DEGHUEE ALUMNI. 

 A dinner was given to Prof Jos. Deghuee, of the old State Street 

 School, Brooklyn, N. Y., on April 9th, by seventy graduates. Among 

 these were Senator Luxow ; F. W. Hinoides, Registrar ; Rufus Zogbaum, 

 Artist ; Cashier William Halls ; DeWitt Webb ; John H. Walsh, and 

 other prominent officials and merchants. The School is of interest as 

 having turned out three students of American Entomology : Ed. L. Graef, 

 who presided on this occasion ; Fred Tepper, and A. Radcliffe Grote, 

 whose names are known to readers of the Can. Ent. Prof. Deghuee is 

 a graduate of the University of Bonn, and for fifty years has been active 

 as a teacher in Brooklyn. The following lines, by A. Radcliffe Grote, 

 were sent by the author from Bremen, and were read during the evening 

 by Mr. Albert Steiner :— - 



A moment pause ! The air is stirred 



From far across the main ; 

 A scholar's waiting for the word, 



Wants to be heard again. 



Look round the board ! Of all you taught. 



If few attend to-day — 

 If any of us came to naught, 



If others made their way. 



All loved you. More can not be said, 



O, teacher, wise and true ! 

 The light that you upon us shed, 



In love returns to you. 



Fill for the absent ones a cup, 



Whose hearts are yours alway ; 

 And fill the goblet brimming up — 



A thousand healths — DegJmce ! 



Mailed August 2nd, 1895.
