RESOLUTIONS 

 On the Death of Dr. James Fletcher. 



Whereas, By the untimely removal of Dr. James Fletcher, the 

 Entomological Society of America has lost — the first by death — 

 one of its original Fellows, and former Vice President, who pre- 

 sided at the Chicago meeting one year ago ; and 



Whereas, Dr. Fletcher, by reason of his nobility of character, 

 kindness of heart, and zeal, tempered by good judgment, was 

 known and beloved among scientific men not only throughout 

 the whole of the United States and the Dominion of Canada, 

 but also abroad, as a careful, conscientious, scientific worker, 

 a true Christian and a thorough gentleman ; and 



Whereas, his death, almost in the prime of life, is a serious 

 loss to the applied Science of Entomology as well as of Botany 

 in America; therefore, be it 



Resolved, That by and through these resolutions the members 

 of this Society express their grief over this loss to two nations, 

 of this truly fine, good man and colleague; and be it further 



Resolved, That a page in the Annals of this Society be set aside 

 for the purpose of placing these Resolutions on record and that 

 the Secretary be instructed to send a copy thereof to the bereaved 

 family.
