were of excellent appearance and remarkably durable in construction. Both 
birds and beetles were housed in cases that he himself planned and built, eases 
that excellently served his purpose and that were neat and pleasing in appear- 
ance. 
Regarding his entomological work, the following information has been 
received from Prof. H. C. Fall, the accomplished coleopterist: ‘‘Mr. Daggett 
was an enthusiastic and observing collector, but his contributions to entomolog- 
ical literature are, so far as I know, confined to two or three half-page notes 
and two short articles (two or three pages each) on collecting experiences 
around Duluth and in the wilderness to the north of that city. His observa- 
tions are about equally divided among butterflies, grasshoppers and beetles. 
I think all the articles were published in ‘Entomological News’, 1892-1895... . 
I once named an Acmaeodera in his honor. I do not know of any other spe- 
cies named for him, but there might be, outside the limits of the Coleoptera. 
His beetle collection probably numbered 2000 species, taken mostly around 
Duluth and in California. ’’ ; 
Next to the collections of birds and insects, his library commanded his 
interest and attention. It includes, besides his careful selection of bound vol- 
umes, a collection of unbound separata that grew to such size as to be fairly 
crowded out of his home and necessarily removed to a room in the Museum. 
During the years he spent in Chicago, Mr. Daggett was a familiar figure in 
the second-hand book stores of the city. Any leisure time on his way to or 
from his office was apt to be spent in these places, and many were the treas- 
ures he unearthed. An especially curious find made at that time, a unique 
copy of Petiver’s “Gazophylacium Naturae et Artis’’ (London, 1702- 1709) is 
described by him in the Auk (1907, pp. 448-449). 
The appended bibliography contains such of Mr. Daggett’s writings, out- 
side of entomology, as the present author has been able to find, but it may well 
be that some items are overlooked.
