Mr. Roland Hay ward. 



Mr. Roland Hay ward died suddenly at his home on Brush Hill 

 Road, in Milton, Mass., on April nth. He was born March 7, 

 1865, and was the son of Isaac Davenport and Mary Bartlett 

 (Vose) Hayward, and was born and died, as did his father be- 

 fore him, in the house on the estate that had been owned by 

 his family for eight generations. He was a member of the 

 Harvard Class of 1886, though ill health in his senior year pre- 

 vented him from taking the examinations for his degree. 



He was for fifteen years a member of the Boston Stock Ex- 

 change, and senior partner of the firm of Hayward & Town- 

 send, bankers and brokers, but a few years ago retired from 

 active business, as his health was never robust and he wished 

 to devote himself to scientific pursuits. 



He was an ardent entomologist and possessed a fine collec- 

 tion of Coleoptera and an excellent scientific library. He was 

 a member of the Boston Society of Natural History, which 

 he joined when a boy, and was treasurer of the Cambridge 

 Entomological Club. 



He was a lover of nature and delighted in long walks in the 

 woods and pastures about his old home. He was a man of the 

 strictest integrity, and generous and loyal to his friends. He 

 was not married, and leaves one brother, Dr. George G. Hay- 

 ward, and one sister, Mrs. Henry W. Cunningham. 



Mr. Hayward was particularly interested in the Carabidae, 

 and did important work in that family. His studies of Bevi- 

 bidium and Tacky s are well known. He was a careful and 

 conscientious worker. An important work on the genus 

 Amara was just finished before he died. His large collection 

 has been bequeathed to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 at Harvard College. His library will go to the Public Library, 

 in the town of Milton, Massachusetts. 



Wanted. — Help in procuring Pennsylvania insects and data or data 

 alone of correctly determined species of Pennsylvania insects of all kinds. 

 I desire name and locality and notes on food, enemies, habits and haunts, 

 if possible, for publishing in a full list of the insects of Pennsylvania. —
