THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 55 



collected," besides mentioning any remarkable forms. He made many 

 excursions, visited Cambridge (where he saw Harris), Niagara, Albany, 

 the Catskills, New York and its surromidings. He made the acquaintance 

 of every naturalist of eminence. He sent to Europe many insects and 

 received many from there, together with the newest publications. His cor- 

 respondence was apparently a large one. 



After a few years his situation in the school where he was engaged was 

 given up ; it had become unpleasant sometime before. He possessed now 

 an excellent collection, very comfortable furniture and three thousand 

 dollars, and decided to buy a little farm to be used as a nursery and for 

 raising silk-worms. In 1839 ^^ made, as he states, fourteen " farm reisen '' 

 in Philadelphia, Maryland and other states, partly with Ziegler and Morris. 

 His project proved to be a failure, and he decided to return to Europe 

 and to send his property to New York. After a short visit to Harris, he 

 went to New York to find that the vessel with all his property was lost in 

 a fearful storm. His note-book says : "Sept. 10, I am notified of the 

 loss of my collection and property.'' " Sept. 16, [beginning of a new collec- 

 tion ; the voyage is given up." " Sept. 25, invitation of Harris to come 

 to Cambridge," where he stayed until November 12. On Nov. 7th new 

 insect-boxes were bought of the box-maker, Newell, in Cambridge. He 

 made many excursions with Harris, whose family very well remember 

 the German naturalist. 



The next year he lived in Baltimore, occupied with entomological 

 systems and excursions with Mr. Morris, and decided to return to South 

 CaroHna. Feb. 27, records a " letter to Hannah, with an offer of marriage." 

 March 21, "Hannah answers 'yes.'" April 3, " I find Horia sanguini- 

 pennis." April 14, " I find Trichius maculosus." 



He had made the acquaintance of Mrs. Hannah Green, aftewards his 

 wife, seven years ago in Georgetown, S. C. We find in his note-book, 

 " Evening with Hannah ; drawings on the wall ; Sweet Home and picture ; 

 quarrels plenty." Monday, Tune 21, "Arrival at Rockingham, N. C." June 

 22, "I reach the town in the morning, visit Hannah at noon, and am 

 married in the evening." 



" Hannah begins her school, July 16, with sixteen pupils, and seven 

 pupils of mine in music and drawing." 



"Sept. 17, dispute took place with Hannah about American culture,
