THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 183 



President and Secretary, respectively, was adopted and after- 

 wards forwarded to Mrs. Harrington: 



"The members of the Executive Council of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of Ontario desire to express their profound sympa- 

 thy with you in the loss that you have sustained through the 

 death of your husband, Mr. William Hague Harrington. For 

 more than forty years he was a member of this Society and took 

 an active interest in its welfare and shared in its work. He was 

 regarded not only in Canada, but in the United States as well, as 

 a thoroughly scientific entomologist, whose published contribu- 

 tions were distinguished by their painstaking accuracy and the 

 many original observations contained in them. He was justly 

 considered to be the highest authority upon hymenopterous in- 

 sects in the Dominion of Canada. We deplore his loss to science 

 and to our Society, and grieve at the removal of a colleague and 

 friend." 



The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club on March 15 resolved as 

 follows : 



"The Council of the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club has 

 learned with deep regret of the death on Wednesday, March 13, 

 of Mr. William Hague Harrington, F.R.S.C. Mr. Harrington was 

 known and highly respected by entomologists, botanists and other 

 scientific men, not only in Canada but throughout the United 

 States as well. His studies, particularly on certain families of in- 

 sects, had given him a wide reputation, and in his death the science 

 of entomology particularly has lost a devoted worker. As a 

 former Secretary and Past President of the Club he was held in 

 high regard by our members."
