Abstract
THE premature death of Dr. Charles Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist of Canada, who succumbed to an attack of pneumonia, following influenza, on February 29, is a serious loss to biological science. To an aptitude for field observation cultivated from his earliest youth, Dr. Hewitt added knowledge and skill in the latest laboratory methods. While, eagerly devoting attention to the numerous economic problems which came before him, he always appreciated the necessity for constant purely scientific research. He worked, indeed, in the most favourable circumstances, and made the best use of his opportunities.
