 Hagonoy, Bulacan, Luzon, Oct., 1901, by Dr. Kellogg, and once at Cotta-

DR. JOHN HERBERT SANGSTER. 



We regret to record the death of Dr. J. H. Sangster, which took 

 place in Toronto on the 27th of January. He was one of the original 

 members of the Entomological Society of Ontario, and during its early 

 years took an active part in its proceedings, but for a long time past he 

 had ceased to take any interest in the Society or its pursuits. 



He was born in England in 1831, and coming to Canada when a 

 child received his education in this country. The principal part of his 

 life was devoted to scholastic work, his first position being that of an 

 assistant master in the Model School at Toronto. Subsequently he was 

 placed in charge of the Provincial Grammar School ; later on he became 

 Head Master of the Ontario Normal School, and finally Professor of 

 Chemistry and Botany in Victoria University. During the earlier portion 

 of his career he published a number of schoolbooks, which were for a 

 long time in general use in the Public Schools of the Province, and made 

 his name familiar throughout the length and breadth of the land. He 

 also wrote extensively on public topics in the newspaper press. Since his 

 retirement from active work he lived in Port Perry, Ont., and was highly 

 respected by all who knew him.
