516 Canadian Record of Science 



MR. HENRY HERBERT LYMAN, B.A. 



In common with the citizens of Montreal in general, 

 the members of the Natural History Society were 

 shocked to learn that one of its most learned members, 

 Mr. Henry Herbert Lyman and his wife, were among 

 the passengers who lost their lives by the sinking of the 

 ill-fated steamship, "Empress of Ireland," on the 29th 

 day of May, 1914. Equally prominent as a merchant 

 and a man of science, his loss is deeply felt. Being one 

 of the most skilled Entomologists of the Dominion, Mr. 

 Lyman was a frequent contributor to the transactions of 

 the Natural History Society, and was also one of its 

 Somerville lecturers. Only a couple of days before his 

 lamented death he had presented to the Royal Society 

 of Canada the annual report, which the Entomological 

 Society is wont to make to the Royal Society, this being 

 his last public act. The Natural History Society is 

 specially gratified to learn that he has left a legacy of 

 $10,000, conditionally, to the Society, thus showing the 

 depth of his interest in its operations. The Society ex- 

 presses its deep sympathy with his relatives in the acute 

 sorrow which has overtaken them. 



He was son of the late Henry Lyman of Montreal and 

 was born here on 21st December, 1854. He was edu- 

 cated at the High School and McGill University, re- 

 ceiving the Logan Medal when he graduated B.A., in 

 1876. He took his Master's degree in 1880. He was 

 trained in the office of Lymans, Clare & Company, of 

 which his father was the senior partner, and, in 1885, 

 became a member of the firm. He was President of the 

 Entomological Society of Ontario, F.R.G.S., Senior 

 Major of the Royal Scots, a strong imperialist and one 

 of the originators of tbe Imperial Federation League. 



MR. GUY DRUMMOND. 



The Natural History Society of Montreal has again 

 to mourn the loss of a valuable member, in the person of
