 moved to the east where he made his first appearance in Boston. In 

 1879 he went to New York and was for many years manager of Wallack's

As an Entomologist, Mr. Edwards had a world-wide reputation, 

 and was recognized as one of the highest authorities in North America. 

 Through his own generosity, we have in our club library most of his 

 valuable papers. Amongst these his " Descriptions of Pacific CoSfit 

 Lepidoptera," and " Bibliographical Catalogue of the Described Trans- 

 formations of North American Lepidoptera," are very valuable to the 

 working Entomologist. His death will deprive many of an able and 

 kind helper, as well as of a friend, who even through his correspondence 

 had endeared himself to those who never had the pleasure of meecing 

 him.
