166 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



of the agriculturist, Dr. Lintner's reports have not been excelled in the 

 world's entomological literature. Such indexes as his reports contain are 

 rare in any literature. One is still more impressed with the scientific and 

 literary attainments of Dr. Lintner, when one understands that, practically, 

 he never had any of the modern facilities, such as are found at many of 

 our experiment station, for studying the habits of insects ; his office was 

 his literary sanctum, laboratory, museum, library and insectary combined. 

 Dr. Lintner was a man of quiet and dignified manners, always 

 courteous and pleasant to meet in social intercourse. He was ever ready 

 to impart from his vast fund of knowledge ; and, being an impressive 

 speaker, he always commanded the attention of scientific bodies which 

 he was called upon to address. His frequent addresses before horticul- 

 tural and agricultural societies in his own and in other States, and farmers' 

 meetings of all kinds, were always full of information. He had recently 

 been granted a well-earned six months' leave of absence, and was spend- 

 ing it in sunny Italy when the death summons came. In Dr. Lintner 

 the agriculturists of New York found one of their best and most helpful 

 friends, and entomologists the world over a true and sympathetic 

 co-worker. His name well deserves a place in that list of names enshrined 

 in the hearts of every American economic entomologist — Harris, Fitch, 

 Walsh, LeBaron, Riley — and Lintner. M. V. Slingerland. 



Professor David Simons Kellicott. 

 Professor David Simons Kellicott was born at Hastings Centre, 

 Oswego County, N. Y., January 28, 1842, and died at his home in 

 Columbus, Ohio, April 13, 1898. In his boyhood his frail constitution 

 and delicate health required him to spend much of his time out of doors, 

 and it is to this, no doubt, that, in part at least, his love for nature may be 

 traced. He graduated from Syracuse University with the degree of 

 B. Sc, while the institution was yet known as Genesee College; teaching 

 one year in Southern Ohio, prior to his graduation. After graduating, he 

 taught one year in Kingston Normal School, Pennsylvania, after which 

 he was connected for seventeen years with the State University at 

 Baffalo, N. Y., being Dean of the College of Pharmacy and also Professor 

 of Botany and Microscopy. He came to the Ohio State University in 

 1888, where for ten years he has occupied the chair of Zoology and Ento- 

 mology. At the time of his death he was General Secretary of the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science, President of the 

 American Microscopical Society, and Treasurer of the Ohio Academy of
