1.30 THE KEPOET OF THE No. 36 



Entomological Society of Loudon, England; an honorary member of the New 'York 

 Entomological Society and the Cambridge Entomological Club; for some time he 

 was Vice-President of the Natural History Society of Montreal. His last official 

 act was the reading of his report as delegate from our society to the Royal Society 

 at the meeting in Montreal on Wednesday, May 27th, the day before he started on 

 his fatal voyage. 



For a long time past Mr. Lyman's friends had been much distressed by his 

 increasing deafness, which of late had almost become total. 'Conversation with 

 him could only be carried on with the aid of an ear-trumpet or by writing. In 

 spite of this severe disability, he was always bright and cheerful, full of innocent 

 fun and enjoying a harmless joke. He travelled about a great deal, attending 

 scientific meetings and otlier gatherings, among others the International Congresses 

 of Entomology at Brussels and Oxford, which he seemed to enjoy, thoug'h latterly 

 he could not hear a Avord of the papers and discussions. The writer and many 

 friends were greatly pleased as well as surprised when he informed us that he was 

 about to be married. Since the death-of his mother, to whom he paid devoted at- 

 tention during a long period of weakness and infirmity, he had been living a 

 somewhat lonely life. Two years ago, in March, 1912, he was married to the 

 daughter of the Eev. William Kirkby, of New York, formerly rector- of Collingwood, 

 Ontario. She attended, with her husband, the Jubilee meeting of our society at 

 Guelph last August, and charmed all who had the pleasure of spending any time 

 in her company. It seems inexpressibly sad that our two friends should have had 

 so short a period of happy married life, and have ended their days together in a 

 tragedy so sudden and so awful.
