The following resolutions on the death of our fellow-member, 

 Alexander Craw, were presented by the Executive Committee 

 and unanimously adopted by the Society: 



Whereas^ The Hawaiian Entomological Society has learned 

 with profound sorrow of the death of its esteemed member, 

 Alexander Craw, June 28, 1908, be it therefore 



Resolved, That the Society, through its Secretary, transmit 

 to the bereaved family its deepest sympathy, and this expression 

 of its appreciation of the irreparable loss sustained. Mr. 

 Craw was one of the founders of the Society ; was its first Vice- 

 President and always took a keen interest in the Society, at- 

 tending the meetings faithfully unless prevented by matters 

 of health or duty and was ever ready to join in the discussions 

 of practical entomological interest. He was a sincere, kind, 

 generous, and hospitable man, and in the few years spent in our 



midst had endeared himself into the hearts of all with whom 

 he Avas associated. 



Be it further Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on 

 the minutes of the Society.

Biographical Sketch of Alexander Craw. 



BY JACOB KOTINSKY. 



With the death of this remarkable man passes away another 

 prominent figure from the horizon of American horticulture 

 and economic entomology. Eew economic entomologists are 

 better known and no one more favorably than was he during 

 liis life work. Few entomological workers passed through 

 California without seeking out and making his personal ac- 

 quaintance, and all were charmed with the man. His unvary- 

 ing amiability has won for him a lasting abode in the heart
