96 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [Feb., '15 



Henry Edwards says : "I have named this exquisite httle spe- 

 cies after my friend John Muir, so well known for his re- 

 searches into the geology of the Sierra Nevada, who has 

 frequently added rare and interesting species to my collection." 

 A chapter on The Bee Pastures of Cahfornia is of interest to 

 the entomologist. Muir was President of the Sierra Club, 

 Fellow of the A. A. A. S., and member of other societies. 



Muir Lodge, in the San Gabriel Mountains, north of Los 

 Angeles, is a memorial to him by the Southern California Sec- 

 tion of the Sierra Club, which insect collectors will frequently 

 pass in the years to come. With the late Joseph Le Conte, 

 John Muir was known and loved by a larger number of people 

 than any other Calif ornian naturalist.

 for his work on the Geometridae, died at Tring, October i8, 

 1914. He was born in Cambridge in 1830, subsequently gradu- 

 ated at the University there, taught at the Doncaster Grammar 

 School and later "relinquished the calling of schoolmaster alto- 

 gether and went in for Entomology pure and simple." He was 

 a most active and vigorous field worker to the end of his life. 

 A brief obituary notice in the Entomologist's Monthly Maga- 

 zine for December, 1914, has supplied the above information.
