THE REVEREND P. JEROME SCHMITT. 



AVe regret to chronicle the death of the Rev. P. Jerome Schmittat St. 

 Vincent's College, near Beatty, Pa., onApril 27th. Father Schmitt wa^s 

 well known to the entomological world as a most careful and able worker, 

 generous with his specimens and his time. He will be sadly missed by 

 those who had the privilege of his acquaintance. 



Father Schmitt was born at Neuhausen, Wurtemberg, May 30, 1857; 

 he came to St. Vincent's College in 1869, and in 1876 joined the Bene- 

 dictine Order. In 1881 he was ordained priest of the Roman Catholic 

 Church, and spent the greater part of the remaining years of his life in 

 teaching the classics at the College. He found time for a great deal of 

 close work with the Coleoptera, and was especially devoted to the study 

 of some of the minute Clavicornia, as will be seen by reference to the 

 writings of present-day authors. At the time of his seizure by the disease 

 which resulted in his death, he was engaged on a descriptive catalogue of 

 the Pselaphidae collected in Brazil by H. H. Smith. 



His collections and manuscripts remain at the College where his life 

 was spent, and the material collected by him will no doubt be carefully 

 preserved by his confreres. It has formed the basis of numerous records 

 in Dr. Hamilton's Catalogue of the Coleoptera of Western Pennsylvania, 

 and has furnished types of many new species described during the past 

 ten years. — H. F. W.
