igiS, William Francis de Vismes Kane. loi 



broad aspects of biology appealed to him more strongly 

 than the minute varietal and sub-specific distinctions which 

 modern S37stematists love, and indeed his naturally con- 

 servative mind was somewhat intolerant of the growing 

 elaboration in recent years of zoological, and especially 

 entomological nomenclature. Had he restricted his studies 

 more closely to one of the lines that attracted him he might 

 have w^on for himself a more prominent name in the world 

 of science. But we who treasure his memory realise that 

 in the life of his country he filled to admiration the part 

 for which he was eminently fittv-^d — an Irish gentleman and 

 a true naturalist.

Many of the short notes on Irish Lepidoptera contributed by Mr. 

 Kane to the Entomologist and the Entomologists' Record and Journal of 

 Variation are not included in this bibliography; nor are his short notes in 

 the pages of the Irish Naturalist, which are indexed in the last number of 

 volume XXV. With few exceptions, the records contained therein were 

 incorporated in his valuable " Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Ireland." 

 The first instalment of the " Catalogue " appeared in the Entomologist in 

 1882. On its completion in igoi it was reprinted as a separate volume b>-
