By the appalling disaster that befell the steamship " Empress of 

 Ireland " in the River St. Lawrence, last May, Canada lost one of her 

 leading entomologists. 



Born in 1854, he in very early life developed a taste for entomo- 

 logy, and in 1875 joined the Montreal Branch of the Entomological 

 Society of Ontario, and always took the liveliest interest, not only in 

 the, success of the branch, but also in the parent society, which a 

 couple of years ago celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. 



His splendid collection, with his library, has been bequeathed to 

 the McGill University, with a sufficient endowment fund to cover 

 expenses in maintaining it, and it is to be accessible to all students of 

 entomology. 



In his mercantile life he was a most busy man, but had always time 

 to give any information willingly to any entomologist, this, with his 

 genial disposition, endeared him to all who had the privilege of work- 

 ing with him. 



His military career ended in 1885, when he retired from the Royal 

 Scots of Canada with the rank of Major. 



He was a strong Imperialist, and was one of the deputation which 

 waited on Lord Salisbury in 1886 begging for an Imperial Conference 

 for the whole of the British Empire. This conference was called and 

 held the next year. He also strongly advocated Imperial preferential 

 trade within the Empire, and that Canada should bear her share for 

 Imperial defence.
