as thirty kinds of edible shellfish, and there is in course of pub- 

 lication by the Dominion Government at the present time a 

 very long and valuable report on the crabs, shrimps, and other 

 Crustacea of British Columbia. (Ottawa Evening Journal, 

 Aug. 24th, 1912). In the thirty-fourth Annual Report of 

 the Entomological Society of Ontario appears a highly apprecia- 

 tive and eulogistic account of Mr. Taylor from the pen of the 

 late Dr. Fletcher. From it we learn that many naturalists have 

 given honor to Mr. Taylor by naming after him new species of 

 various kinds, as for example, Melitaea taylori, W. H. Edwards. 

 Modiolaria taylori, Dall. Lcucandra taylori, Lambe. 



The following words written by Dr. Fletcher in the life- 

 time of Mr. Taylor, and in the paper above referred to, were 

 justly due to the deceased: "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." 



Both the Rev. George W. Taylor and Dr. James Fletcher 

 (Dominion Entomologist and Botanist) were men of striking 

 personality and rare attainments, and neither were permitted to 

 see old age ; in them Canada has lost men and scholars whose 

 place it will be very difficult to fill.

 piece to the last Annual Report.
