time before a comparable work can be written for any part of the New World. This is a beautiful example of what can be done when data are available. The book is an important guide for those who would engage upon detailed zoogeographic studies.

OBITUARY
JAMES H. BAKER (1910-1978)
Mr. James "Jim" Huffman Baker, charter member of the Lepidopterists' Society, died April 14, 1978 at St. Luke's Hospital in Boise, Idaho after a long illness. He was 67. Jim was born Aug. 14, 1910 in Baker, Oregon, the son of Deering F. and Bernice Huffman Baker. He graduated from Baker High School in 1928, was employed by the Citizen's National Bank in Baker, and then ran the family grocery, Baker's Supermarket, for over 35 years. Jim was a man of many activities. In addition to his lifelong interest in insects of many orders, he bowled, traveled, was interested in general nature study, collected rocks, and was an antique dealer and a gem worker.
He published several scientific papers, and his extensive collecting disclosed several insects that were subsequently named, including Euphydryas anicia bakeri Stallings and Turner, and Celastrina argiolus bakeri (Clench). He worked closely with both the American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institution. He was also a member of the Coleopterists' Society.
Jim will be greatly missed by all of his many friends and colleagues who have enjoyed his company and his family's hospitality. He is survived by his wife, Ilah; a son, James Michael Baker; a daughter, Judith Ann Haswell of Pullman, Washington; and two granddaughters.
