174 NORTH AMERICAN INSECTS. 



It is much to be regretted that death has taken 

 from us this highly distinguished American Natural- 

 ist, but his works are left behind him, and will insure 

 him long remembrance among all lovers of Science 

 and Nature. Mr. Say accompanied Major Long in 

 his exploring expedition to the Rocky Mountains 

 many years ago, and afterwards travelled with Mr' 

 Mc'Clure through Florida and other countries. 



He published his American Entomology in 1824, 

 in three volumes, with fifty-four very well executed 

 colored plates, and is the author of a great number of 

 valuable articles contained in the Transactions of sev- 

 eral of the learned societies of the Union. 



Thomas Say was a member of the Society of Friends, 

 Curator of the American Philosophical Society, Pro- 

 fessor of Natural History in the University of Penn- 

 sylvania, and of Zoology in the Philadelphia Museum.
