In 111) more fittin"- place could a memorial notice to "Tre" appear 

 tlian in (nir Proeeedinfi's, ^vhich are in themselves a monument to his 

 enei-i;'y. his (li]>hiinacy, and liis cameradei'ie. 



It was impossihh' tn realize, wlien tiie sad news of his sudden death. 

 arrived, tliat he liad fXDUe aiul we should see him no more. 



Entomologists in I5ritisli ('olumbia were lodkinn' fcirward to seeiuu' 

 him in July, to t'ei'l his licarty handshake, to hear his genuine lauuii, and 

 to consult his well balanced mind, hut our hopes were sliattered. 



Entomology in tlie Dominion, and especially in British Columbia, 

 has received a serious blow by his death, for his interests were here, and 

 he had done more for entomology in this province than anyone. 



To Mr. Treherne belongs the honour of resuscitating our Society in 

 1911 and of bringing together the two classes of entomological workers 

 and keeping them in hajjpy unison during his tenure of office as Secretary 

 from 1911 to 1916. 



Economic entomologists knew his value as an adviser, and, when he 

 w-as called east in 1921 to take charge of a Division of the Entomological 

 Branch, we in Britisli Columbia knew our loss, the only consolation being 

 the knowledge that he would be a tower of strength at head(|uarters in 

 our interests. 



Mr. Ti-eherne liad offers of lucrative positions in Canada, in England 

 and elsewhere, but his soul was in the Branch and lie remained true, too 

 true, for his death can be ascribed to his indomitable energy whereby he 

 neglected his health for duty and died in harness. 



On the .SOtli of May he returned ill to Ottawa from an inspection trip 

 in southern Ontario. On the second of June he was forced' to go to bed. 

 and on the seventh he died under an operation for acute peritonitis; the 

 one wish of his friends, he had no enemies, is that the trouble had Ix'fu 

 taken in time. 



Besides these Proceedings we have as a memorial, the thrips genus 

 TREHERXIELLA, and the example of his life, a pattern not onh' for 

 young entomologists to follow.
