II BULLETIN BROOKLYN ENTOM. SOC. VOL. VI. December 1883] 
Unfortunately Dr. Le Conte’s Writings are scattered among so many 
periodicals in this country and abroad that it is simply impossible to ob- 
tain a full set of them, as many, especially the earlier publications, have 
been a long time out of print. Would it not now be well, to have all 
his writings republished in the same way as Dr. Le Conte himself repu- 
blished Says’ Entomological Writings? And where can a man be found 
who is better qualified to supervise the edition than Dr. Horn? Would 
not that be a monument set in memory of the deceased, more- durable 
than bronze (zere perennius) ? 
Practising as a physician he found time besides the immense work 
done in his writings to fill positions as President, Secretary, Member of 
Committees in different scientific Societies, such as the Academy of Na- 
tural Sciences, American Philosophical and American Entomological 
Societies, and American Association for the Advancement ofScience. He 
found even the time to help along book-less beginners by naming their 
Harpali pennsylvanici, Pterostichi lucublandi, and other equally rare 
species. 
I shall ever remember his kind receptions when I visited him 
during the Christmas weeks of latter years. After his colored porter had 
opened the door for me and had taken him my card, the Doctor shouted 
from the top of the stairs: ‘‘Welcome! Very glad to see you! Please, 
come up stairs!” He talked with me for hours, and gave me all the infor- 
mation I desired, and then left me alone with his collection. He presented 
me many good typical specimens and I shall never forget his kindness. 
He had been a few times during the past two years very ill and 
although we were fearing for the worst, we still were shocked on receiving 
Dr. Horn’s laconic message : 
“Dr. Le Conte died to day at 1 P.M.” 
At a special meeting convoked for Saturday Nov. 17th, the Brook- 
lyn Entomological Society resolved to send a Committee of three of its. 
Members to Philadelphia, to place a laurel-wreath on our deceased 
Master’s, Member’s, Co-worker’s, and Friend’s sarcophagus; the laurel he 
had so very well deserved, ‘This resolution was duly carried out.
