Gkoruk J)i:xrKR Uradiurd, the Corresponding Secretary of 

 the New York Entomological Society, died November 24th, 1894, 

 of typhoid fever, at his home No. 21 Washington Place, New 

 \ork C'ity. Me was born in N. Y. Ciiy May 1 ith, iS-jT,. 



In him we have lost an earnest devotee to science and those 

 who knew him have lost a generous and sympathizing friend. 



In this place we desire to do no more than record our loss 

 and to fulfdl a duty we have laid down for ourselves of noticing 

 the departure of all who have in anv way belonged to our Society- 

 Mr. Bradford was early nominated an active member of our Society 

 in which he took a warm interest and was one of the main sup- 

 porters of our Journal. His loss will be deeply felt and will leave 

 a gap difficult to fill. .\s an entomologist, Mr. Bi-adford was full 

 of promise and hopes for future good work ; though \el young, 

 he IukI considerable knowledge, having gaineil nnich ex- 

 perience, in his travels to North Carolina, \ellowstone I'ark, 

 British Columbia, \^ancouver Island, Alaska, Egypt and Turkey, 



He leaves C|uitc a large collection of insects comprising many 

 thousand specimens which he collected during his travels and
