The Ohio Naturalist. 
[Vol. XV, No. 5, 
Dr. Kirtland’s work is worthy of special mention since it ap¬ 
peared at a time when but little attention was given to entomologi¬ 
cal matters and it appears from papers both in Entomology and 
Ornithology that he was a man of scientific attainments and his 
work of special merit. 
He was a professor in the Medical College at Cleveland, but 
evidently a naturalist of the old school interested in all phases 
of natural history and making contributions to Botany Ornithol¬ 
ogy, Ichthyology and Entomology. His papers* in Entomology, 
as far as I can discover, appeared during the years 1838, 1841 and 
1851-57. Several of them relate particularly to Ohio insects. 
Another naturalist of a little later date, Mr. J. Kirkpatrick 
published a number of articles in the Reports of the Board of 
Agriculture, “Field Notes” and “Ohio Farmer,” during the years 
1855-68. Also an article on Grape Vine Flea Beetle, in “Field 
Notes,” reprinted in Practical Entom., Vol. I, 1865, p. 40. 
Mr. J. H. Ivlippart published a paper on the wheat plant 
including notices of its parasites, Cincinnati, 1860 and is credited 
with three articles in Field Notes, 1861, these being discussions 
with Mr. Walsh upon the life history of the army worm. 
Prof. E. W. Clavpole, first of Antioch, later of Buchtel College, 
a man with extremely broad acquaintance in all branches of 
Natural History, gave particular attention to the insects of the 
state. A number of articles in the Canadian Entomologist and 
other Journals are from his pen. 
Prof. Wright of Oberlin gave some attention to collections but 
so far as I am aware published no papers which would be considered 
strictly entomological. 
The work of Mr. Chas. Dury of Cincinnati, is worthy of special 
mention as his studies have covered a long period of time and have 
been of a very intensive character, especially with reference to 
Coleoptera. His papers have appeared mostly in the Journal of 
the Cincinnati Society of Natural History and constitute a very 
valuable contribution to the Entomological Literature of the 
state. Among his papers of special state interest are the Catalog 
of Coleoptera of Cincinnati and Lists of Lepidoptera for the same 
locality. He also has contributed largely to the material used by
