CARL VON HEYDEN. .53 



made Entomological excursions to Mombach, to Konig- 

 stein and Falkenstein, to Eberstadt, &c., I feel that I must 

 say a few words to endeavour to convey to those, who had 

 not the pleasure of the personal acquaintance of Senator 

 von Heyden, some idea of his extreme kindness. 



If he thought you were interested in any subject ho 

 spared no trouble to supply you with information. His 

 sharp observant eye was very quick to detect indications of 

 unknown larvae, and every discovery he made at once 

 became public property. It was interesting also to observe 

 how his face brightened up with pleasure at the discoveries 

 made by others. A more thoroughly genial unselfish 

 person I never met. 



In many respects he put me in mind of the late Professor 

 Henslow, and this statement may enable many who knew 

 that amiable botanist to form some conception of the loss 

 which the Frankfort Entomologists felt when Senator von. 

 Heyden was taken from them.
