the collection should be handed over to him when the volume of the studies were completed This was done, and to-day Edwards's entire collection forms a part of Dr Holland's own private collection, which now deposited in the museum of the Carnegie Institute in order that may be made is it available with other collections for purposes of study on the part of students "Whilst seem pitiful fully appreciating the public spirit of Dr Holland, it does work ever done by an American lepidopterist that the best was so ill-supported by the entomological public for whom it was written, had to give his life's work as a labour of love, but that the author not only to part with his collection, with all its personal and sentimental order to give to an entomological world a work that it could not even appreciate to the point of paying for the actual mechanical labour expended by printers, lithographers, etc., in its production, an entomolog- also had ties, in of labour public that took, in addition, without payment, the years and curating the specispent by the author, in amassing material, breeding ical Such work is sometimes called, mens, describing their early stages, etc we have called it above, a labour of love This may be excellent sentiment, but it appears to us to be amazing nonsense in such a case as as A this labour that ended in Edwards handing over his collection, under the conditions above described, blood No wonder we read in must have sapped his entomological life's the notices of his death in the American the study magazines, that, for the last 20 years of his life, Edwards gave up Dr of entomology, and took to the study of Shakespearian literature Holland's statement allows us now to picture clearly what entomology lost on by the failure of individual entomologists to support the best work Possibly, at least, two more lepidoptera that America ever produced volumes like the others might have been produced, had they both been as to how supported, and in their place we have a wordy warfare " Shakespeare's name ought to be spelt and Journal of Variation, London, England ! ! — The Entomologists' Record — October 1909, pp 239-240 MEETINGS DURING
