RESOLUTIONS 

 Ox THE Death of Dr. W.m. H. Ashmead. 



William Harris Ashmead, Naturalist, Honorary Fellow of 

 this Society, died on Oct. 17th, 1908. We, his colleagues, would 

 hereby give expression to our sorrow in the loss of a leader and 

 a friend — one who gave himself unsparingly to the advancement 

 of the science we cherish, who made himself by his zeal and 

 industry- one of the foremost students of the Hymenoptera in the 

 world, and who furthered our progress by his numerous and 

 valuable papers and by the prompt and generous aid he lent to 

 every student who asked his expert knowledge and assistance. 

 We gratefully acknowledge our debt to him, and we desire to 

 place on record this testimonial of our esteem for him as a man, 

 our pride in his successful career, our high regard for his scientific 

 work, and our sincere sense of irreparable loss at his passing away.
