32 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



him honor. Among his Entomological papers, that which perhaps 

 attracted most attention was his Notes on the Diurnal Lepidoptera of 

 Western Ohio. 



During the summer of 1S72 it was our privilege to visit this veteran 

 naturalist. We found him enjoying his quiet retirement among his 

 flowers, fruits and insects, actively interested in everything that was going 

 on about him. He gave us a most cordial welcome, and we spent a 

 delightful afternoon together scanning his botanic and insect treasures. 

 Although nearly 80 years of age, he retained all his faculties in apparent 

 perfection, his eyesight being so well preserved that he could read 

 ordinary print with the greatest ease. He died after a short illness at his 

 home, on the 1 ith of December, 1877, at the ripe age of eighty-four 

 years. He was among the most genial and winning of men, with a heart 

 warm and steadfast. His temperate, well-ordered life preserved him in 

 the full vigor of manhood far beyond the years at which men ordinarily 

 grow old. He had no dissipation but hard work, no extravagance but 

 lavish generosity to his friends and overflowing charity for the poor. In 

 his seventieth year of patient labor he wrote as his motto over his desk : 

 " Time is money ; I have none of either to spare." Thus this tireless 

 man of science labored to the end, laying down the work he loved so 

 well after fourscore and four years of labor and usefulness, only at the 

 call of the Master. 



MR. ANDREW MURRAY, F. L. S. 



This accomplished naturalist died at his residence, 67 Bedford Gar- 

 dens, Kensington, on the 10th of January last. Mr. Murray was the 

 eldest son of Wm. Murray, Esq., and was born in Edinburgh on the 19th 

 of February, 181 2, where he resided until i860. In his early years he 

 manifested a fondness for natural science which strengthened as he 

 matured. He was educated for the law, and subsequently devoted some 

 attention to the study of medicine. During the last few years of his life 

 in Edinburgh he labored hard in the interests of science ; in 1858 he was 

 elected President of both the Botanical Society and Physical Society, and 

 just previous to his removal to London he contributed an elaborate paper 

 to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, on the " Pediculi Infesting the Various 

 Races of Man." In i860 Mr. Murray came to London, and was 

 appointed Assistant-Secretary to the Royal Horticultural Society, and from 

 this time he devoted himself to his work as a scientific Botanist and
