collector of specimens. His habits of observation were exact, and 
as a result he found a new species, which was acknowledged to be 
so by Grope, an entomological expert, and named by him Scope/o- 
soma Moffatiana. It figured in Holland’s “ moth book,” plate xxvi., 
fig. 33, Moffat’s Sallow. 
Mr. Moffat never married. He was appointed Librarian and 
Curator of the Entomological Society of Ontario in London some 
years ago, a position he was well suited for, and the duties of 
which he discharged with great acceptance to the members. 
He long suffered from weak digestion, and died on the 26th 
February, 1904. 
He was a nephew of the well-known Dr. Wm. Moffat, who was 
surgeon to Wellington during his conflict with Napoleon, and also of 
Bailie Alston, a well known philanthropist of Glasgow. 
“Mr. Moffat was a man of quiet and retiring disposition—one of 
nature’s noblemen. At his death he was in his eightieth year. He 
was to the end as straight of body and clear of mind as he was in 
youth. 
He passed away honored and respected by all who knew him 
as a friend, and our Society and the one he was most intimately con- 
nected with are much the poorer.
