Abstract
BY the death on February 11, at the ripe age of 84 years, of Prof. Émile Blanchard, France has lost the doyen of its zoologists, the French Academy one of its oldest and most esteemed members, and the Paris Museum a famous entomologist. Blanchard's career was a somewhat remarkable one, and at the same time a noble example to others; for he rose to distinction from the ranks, and, when stricken by one of the most terrible of all afflictions, never swerved for an instant from the course he had to run.
