22 THE EEPOET OF THE No. 36 



mologist. He was also a Eellow of the Royal Society, and of the Zoological and 

 Entomological Societies of England, and Corresponding Member of the Ottawa 

 Field Naturalists' Club. Much of his character and personality is conveyed in the 

 following words of the late Mr. James Fletcher: "Mr, Taylor is an indefatigable 

 collector and a generous correspondent, who considers no trouble too much to make 

 observations or secure specimens when specially desired. In his parish work he is 

 painstaking, gentle and self-denying — always ready to help. A clear and forcible 

 preacher and an earnest liver, who shows in his works that religion is not an accessory 

 of everyday life, but an integral part of it." 



Respectfully submitted, 



E. M. Walker, 



President.
