REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1907 63 
observer, and his intention was, when sufficient material was ac- 
cumulated to study some of the Héterocerous 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. Jor 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 locall- 
ties from which the specimens came are also indicated.
