REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOAIOLOGIST I907 63 



observer, and his intention was, when sufficient material was ac- 

 cumulated to study some of the Heterocerous families systemati- 

 cally. This intention was unhappily prostrated by his untimely 

 death. In September last he began to break down, and his phy- 

 sicians decided that the trouble was consumption. His death was 

 quite unexpected and an autopsy revealed a cancer on the lungs 

 as the true ailment. His death is a positive loss to entomology, 

 removing from our midst an active worker whom it will be difficult 

 to replace. For the reasons stated his collection is peculiarly valu- 

 able, and it is to be hoped that it will not be lost. No testa- 

 mentary disposition was made, but his expressed wish was that it 

 should be disposed of in its entirety. The National Museum would 

 be an excellent and appropriate place for it. 



Mr Hill was president of the Albany Fly-Casters Association ; 

 chairman of the executive committee of Eastern New York Fish 

 and Game Protective Association ; life member of the Albany 

 Young Men's Association; member of the Albany Institute; of the 

 Old Guard, Albany Zouave Cadets ; Masters Lodge F. & A. M., 

 and a vestryman of St Paul's Episcopal Church. None of his 

 children have inherited his taste for entomology. 



An attempt has been made in the following list to give the 

 synonymy and arrangement of Dyar's list. This has been com- 

 paratively easy so far as our native forms are concerned. The 

 presence of numerous exotic forms from widely separated parts 

 of the world increased greatly the labor of making the list and 

 interpolating them in their proper places. It is hoped, however, 

 that no serious errors have been committed. This list has been 

 prepared largely by assistants in this office, assistant D. B. Young 

 being mostly responsible for the synonymy and arrangement. 

 The names in parenthesis are those used by Mr Hill. The locali- 

 ties from which the specimens came are also indicated.
