334 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



President for two years of the Ontario College of Pharmacy, of 

 which he was one of the founders. He was an active member of 

 the American Pharmaceutical Society, and Fellow of the American 

 Association for the Advancement of Science. His attendance at 

 the meetings of these Societies held from year to year in various 

 cities of North America caused him to have a widely extended 

 friendship with notable men of all kinds, by whom he was highly 

 esteemed and respected. 



The writer's acquaintance with Dr. Saunders began more than 

 fifty years ago, when we were both young men, and soon ripened 

 into a warm friendship, which has continued unbroken until now 

 during all these years. In those early days, when the study of 

 Entomology was so difficult owing to the scarcity of books on the 

 subject, we were in constant correspondence, helping each other in 

 every way we could, and spending each summer same days together, 

 comparing notes, studying specimens and making collecting ex- 

 peditions. Many happy hours we spent together in early morning 

 tramps to the ponds and woods about London, and in the evening, 

 when his day's business was over, in examining the captures we 

 had made. At that time there were few in Canada who took the 

 least interest in the objects which to us afforded the keenest pleasure, 

 but as time went on we found here and there a congenial spirit, 

 and were led on in 1862 to attempt the organization of an Entomo- 

 logical Society. This was successfully accomplished during the 

 following spring, and last year the completion of half a century's 

 work and progress was celebrated by the Jubilee meeting at Guelph. 

 An account of the proceedings on that occasion and the history of 

 the formation and growth of the Society have been given in the 

 November (1913) number of the' "Canadian Entomologist" and the 

 44th Annual Report of the Society. In 1868 Mr. Saunders and 

 the writer decided upon making another venture and began the 

 publication of the "Canadian Entomologist," to the first two num- 

 bers of which we were the sole contributors. For five years the latter 

 was the Editor, and was then succeeded by Mr. Saunders, who 

 continued the management of the magazine until his removal to 

 Ottawa in 1886. Three years previously there was published in 

 Philadelphia his notable book, "Insects Injurious to Fruits," 

 which is justly regarded as a classic by economic entomologists.
