PROVANCHKR I33 



De son côté, l'entomologisle du Dominion, le Dr Hevvilt, 

 nous avait écrit ce qui suit le 7 février: 



"... I am now writing to sugge>t tliat you do not close 

 your subscriplion list, but tliat you give the niany english 

 speaking admirers of the Abbé Provancher and his great 

 work the opportunity of participating in the perpétuation 

 of his memory in the uianner you suggest. I ani sorry 

 that you did not publish your appeal in the Canadian 

 Entomologist at the sauie tinie, as tliere are unfortunately 

 a large nnniberof english speaking entoniologists who do 

 not .see Le Naturaliste Canadien^ and vho would like, I 

 feel sure, to add their sniall mouetary tributes to your 

 fund. — As the buriaî place of the Abbé lias reniained 

 unmarked for so long, I do not thiuk that the post- 

 ponement of the érection of the nieuiorial for a few more 

 months would be serions, and it wonld give niany ento- 

 mologists the opportunity of taking part in the carrying 

 out of your excellent proposai. — If you would prtfer not 

 to insert a brief notice regarding this matter in the Cana- 

 dian Entomologiste I shonld be vtry pleased to write such 

 a paragraph and tobe responsible for the collection of any 

 subscriptions, or they could be sent "direct to you. — The 

 Abbé Provancher was such an illustrions pioneer of 

 Canadian entoniologists that I thiuk it would be very 

 unfortunate if this récognition was conhued to hisown 

 Province. His work was truly Canadian, and I thiuk I 

 am safe in saying that there are a larger number of men 

 who are acqnainted with and admirers of his work outside 

 the province of Québec than within, and many of thèse 

 will no doubt be glad to coutribute to this proposai." 



Comme tous ces témoignages, venant de milieux étran- 

 gers à notre race, sont glorieux pour la mémoire de notre 

 illustre Provancher !
