after leaving Brookl}^!, he accepted a position with the University 

 of California. Later he became Curator of Entomology of the 

 Academy of Sciences. His private collection, the work of ten 

 hours a day for sixty years, was lost in the San Francisco fire. 

 He started a new one the next day. After thirty years' absence 

 he revisited Brooklyn. It was then that the editor met him. He 

 had never seen a moving picture. We took him twice a day to 

 the " movies." Coney Island was the best place for them. Plate 

 IV. is the outcome of a visit to that region. All the afternoon 

 and evening we mingled movies and beetle collecting under the 

 arc lights. After all the years many of the commonest insects 

 were strange to Fuchs. So we took everything. At each capture 

 Carl Fuchs would dip anew into a box of a particularly savory 

 snuff, of a kind known only to himself. It had a delicious aroma, 

 even if it did force a sneeze to all us amateurs. 



Professor W. G. W. Harford was born in Rochester, N. Y., in 

 1825. Colias harfordi Hy. Edwards recalls him. He was for 

 several years Director of the San Francisco Academy of Scien:es, 

 then for four years connected with the University. He lived 

 until 1913. Verily, if one desires longevity, he should become an 

 entomologist in California.

RECOLLECTIONS OF CHARLES FUCHS. 



By Charles W. Leng, B.S. 



I think it was in 1876 that I first met Charles Fuchs, in 

 Schaupp's room, at the foot of Broadway, Williamsburg; that 

 was thirty-eight years ago and Fuchs was then in his prime, mass-
