integrity, just and true in all his business relations, ever ready to 

 do all in his power to promote the welfare and happiness of his 

 fellows, not only in larger matters, but pre-eminently in little 

 things — the unobstrusive things that make up so much of life; he 

 was friendly, social and genial; though engaged in a large busi- 

 ness he always found leisure for his friends; he was a Christian 

 gentleman, sincere, openhearted as the sunshine, and those who 

 knew him intimately and for years in the home and in business, 

 will bear witness to his unvarying purity, uprightness and kind- 

 ness. ' ' 



Mr. Norton's favorite branch of natural science was Ento- 

 mology, and his specialty Phytophagous Hymenoptera, although 

 he was well versed in all the families of the order. Of late years 

 his business pursuits prevented him from engaging actively in the 

 study, but the work done was well done, and has proved of great 

 value and assistance to the student, notably his admirable and 

 exhaustive monograph of the Saw-flies of North America pub- 

 lished in 1867-69, which alone has earned for him an honored 

 name among entomologists and made him an authority in that 

 family of Hymenoptera. 



Mr. Norton has named and described upwards of 250 species 

 of Hymenoptera, new to science, in his several publications, 

 among which are the following:
