We know that many of our readers, men like Charles Dury, H. W. 

 Wenzel, and others who were among Mr. Palm's oldest friends, will 

 join in the regrets that were expressed at the Society meeting over 

 the passing away, in the fullness of years, of one more of that group 

 of New York entomologists who did so much during the latter part 

 of the last century, by accumulating and distributing large collections 

 to promote the study of entomology. 



WILLIAM DUNHAM KEARFOTT. 



Wm. D. Kearfott, a member of the New York Entomological 

 Society since 1898 and its vice-president in 1901 and 1902, died No- 

 vember 12, 1917, at his home in Montclair, from an attack of apo- 

 plexy, in his fifty-third year. Mr. Kearfott was born in Berkeley Co., 

 W. Va., January 12, 1864, and was educated in the public schools. 

 He was a mechanical engineer, connected successively with the 

 Morton Pool Co., the International Navigation Co., the Worthington 

 Steam Pump Co., the Warren Steam Pump Co. and Kearfott Engi- 

 neering Co. In entomology he was interested in the micro-lepidoptera 

 of the world, especially the Tortricidte, amassing an important col- 

 lection of specimens and drawings of foreign types, much of which 

 is now in the American Museum of Natural History.
