300 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



and determined many of his specimens of Noctuidae. Many of 

 these collected at Cartwright, Man., were described as new species 

 by Dr. Smith. For many years Mr. Heath was a valued 

 correspondent of the late Dr. James Fletcher, and it was through 

 Dr. Fletcher that the writer became acquainted with him. I have 

 been in constant communication with Mr. Heath, particularly with 

 regard to important captures, records of which have been included 

 in the "Entomological Record", published annually in the Report 

 of the Entomological Society of Ontario. Like other Canadian 

 entomologists, I have always found him a most enthusiastic 

 collector and an exceedingly interesting correspondent. I shall 

 indeed miss his friendly and helpful letters. 



Mr. Heath was a regular contributor to this journal, his 

 papers being chiefly records of Lepidoptera occuring at Cartwright. 

 Many of these were new records for the province. 



The last article he published appeared in the April, 1914, 

 issue of the Canadian Entomologist, and was entitled, 'A 

 Phalangid Drinks Milk". A. G. 



The following note was received from the late Mr. E. F. Heath 

 about a year ago, but by an oversight its publication has been 

 unduly delayed. 



The Editor of the Canadian Entomologist, 

 Dear Sir: 



On the night of the 8th inst. (1912), I captured at my 

 "sugared" trees a specimen of Thysania zenobia Cram, in very 

 good condition. I can only account for its appearance on the 

 supposition that it must have come north, in the pupal stage, in a 

 bunch of bananas, or by some such means. That I should get it 

 is the more extraordinary for I lie between three villages, the 

 nearest being four miles distant, and the other two, six and 

 seven miles respectively. 



Yours faithfully, 



E. Firmstone Heath. 

 The Hermitage, near Cartwright, Man.
