OBITUARY. 
We grieve to have to record the death of another devoted Entomologist, 
Mr. CoLEMAN T. RoBINsON, of New York, who expired, after a very brief 
illness, on the 1st of May last. Mr. Robinson was born in Putnam 
County, N. Y., in 1838, and had but recently completed the 35th year of 
his age. When quite a young man, he made a prolonged tour through 
Europe, Egypt and the Holy Land, and spent some time at the University 
of Berlin. Onhis return to New York, in 1861, he engaged in business as 
a stock broker in Wall Street, and soon became the head of a very 
successful and enterprising firm, Messrs. Robinson, Cox & Co. So shrewd 
and successful were his speculations that in a few years he amassed a large 
fortune, and on his retirement from business a couple of years ago, he was 
reputed to be worth about a million and a half of dollars. Latterly he 
resided near Brewster’s Station, on the New York and Haarlem Railway, 
where he had purchased a handsome country seat. Notwithstanding his 
devotion to business of so engrossing and exciting a character,he yet found 
time to indulge in his favorite study of Entomology, and in connection with 
his friend, Mr. Grote, described a large number of new species of North 
American Lepidoptera, chiefly belonging to the families of Sphingidæ, 
Bombycidæ, Noctuadæ and Tortricidæ. A list of his published papers, 
prepared by his coadjutor, Mr. Grote, is given on another page. We are 
glad to learn that amongst his other bequests, Mr. Robinson left the 
handsome sum of $10,000 to the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, with 
which he was connected for several years. :
