The late Rev. Dr. Fyles, whose death is reported from 
Ottawa, was well known to many of our readers in different 
parts of the country and especially in Quebec and Levis, 
where he resided for so long up to a few years ago. The 
deceased had reached the advanced age of 90 years. He 
was a cultured scholar and was given the degree of D. C. L. 
some years ago by Bishop's College, Lennoxville. He was 
an entomologist of international repute, and scientific pa- 
pers from his pen have appeared in many magazines and 
reviews. His last book of poems was published while he 
was a resident of Levis in 1907, but he had also written 
much on religious education. He was educated in London, 
England, and ordained to the ministry of the Church of 
England in 1862. For many years, after having heïd dif- 
ferent ministerial charges in the Eastern Townships, he was 
Emigration Chaplain at Quebec for the $. P. C K.

Nous avons pu faire la connaissance personnelle du Rév. 
M. Fvyles, quand nous avons négocié avec lui, il v a plusieurs 
années, l'achat de sa riche collection de Lépidoptères, pour 
le Musée provincial. 
Parvenu à l'age vénérable de 00 ans, ce savant était sans 
conteste le doyen des entomologistes du Canada — si non 
de tous les pays.
