﻿OBITUARY (Portrait, Pl. IV.) 



- IVIATANOSUKE SHIBAKAWA 



On the 27th of March, 1916, after a little protracted 

 illness, Matanosuke Shibakawa, one of the founders 

 of our society, died in Osaka in his 29th year. He 

 was born in Osaka, Dec. 26, 1888, and studied in the 

 Higher Commercial School of Yamaguchi, and settled 

 in Osaka as a business man. But in his leisure l^ours, 

 he was devoted to collecting specimen and literature of 

 entomology, especially of lepidopterolog-v. We will 

 remember him for his active generosity in giving us so 

 much kind advice. Moreover we must greatful for the 

 gift of the desirable specimen of almost all orders of 

 insects which he obtained in his active collecting days. 

 We regret that we have seen little of him in haunts 

 entomological. His collections will be presented to 

 the Entomological Society of Japan.
