DEATH OF DOCTOR SCHWARZ 
To the great loss of the science of Entomology, Dr. E. A. Schwarz 
died on October 15th. The Entomological Society of Washington has spread 
the following statement upon its minutes: 
"The Entomological Society of Washington appreciates to the full- 
est degree that in the passing of Dr. Eugen Amandus Schwarz it has lost 
its most learned member, its most loyal and generous supporter and the 
kindliest and most helpful of friends. The Society points with pride to 
the facts that Doctor Schwarz was one of its founders, that he held in 
the course of the years every office in which he could serve, and that 
the title Honorary President was created especially for hin. 
"The Society feels that American entomologists should be grateful 
that this great soul has lived among them for more than fifty years, 
constantly in his quiet way influencing their trend of thought towards 
the very best methods and towards sound scholarship."
