THE CANADI.VN ENTOMOLOGIST. 99 



At meetings of farmers, liorticultiirists, etc , and those of scientific 

 societies, which he was closely identified with, his lectures and helpful 

 talks will be much missed. He received honours from many societies, 

 among which may be mentioned that of Fellow of the American Associa- 

 tion for the Advancement of Science, Fellow of the New York Academy 

 of Sciences, Fellow of the Entomological Society of America, Honourary 

 Member of the Entomological Society of Ontario, Honourary Member of 

 the Newark Entomological Society, Corresponding Member of the Ento- 

 mological Society of Washington, and Corresponding Member of the 

 Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club. He also had active "membership in the 

 Association of Economic Entomologists, Society for the Promotion of 

 Agricultural Science, Brooklyn Entomological Society, Philadelphia Feld- 

 man Collecting Social, Brooklyn Institute, Washington Academy, and New 

 Jersey State Microscopical Society. 



In 189 r, Rutgers College conferred upon him the honourary degree 

 of Doctor of Science. 



Like many busy men, he always found time to help others ; in his 

 death, we in Canada have lost a true and valued friend. To-day there is 

 a gap in our ranks which it will indeed be difficnlt to fill. 



To Mrs. Smith and the two grown-up children who survive him, we 

 extend our deepest sympathy. Arthur Gibson.
