Bunker, in 1892. He was born November 23, 1856. His early 

 education was in private schools, with some work in 1873-1875 at 

 the University of Rochester. He graduated at the Buffalo Medical 

 College in 1878, and very soon began medical work with his father, 

 the eminent physician and surgeon, Edward Mott Moore, senior, 

 and he continued in medical practice to his death, September 23, 

 1916. For a time he was an instructor in the Buffalo college. In 

 1893 he was appointed a member of the Rochester Board of Health. 

 He was a member of several medical and health associations, and 

 was President of the Rochester Academy of Medicine in 1910-11. 



From his childhood Dr. Moore was interested in insects, and 

 in his mature life the pursuit of entomology was his avocation and 

 recreation. His special branch was the coleoptera (beetles), but 

 he had intimate knowledge of other insect orders. 



In the Proceedings of the Academy he published no papers, but 

 made contributions to American entomological journals and is- 

 sued a paper on "Habits of the Cicindela" and "Observations on 

 Mayflies." He had in preparation a book on beetles, but was antici- 

 pated by Blatchley. When his fatal illness came he was collecting 

 material for a paper on the carrion beetles. 



The Section of Entomology of the Academy was organized by 

 the group of young men that Dr. Moore had attracted about him 

 for the study of insect life, and he was made the Chairman. His 

 valuable library and his collection in entomology were bequeathed 

 to the University of Rochester.
