OBITUARY
ARGYLE B. PROPER, an associate member of the American Association of Economic Entomologists, died at his home in Wakefield, Mass., on December 16, 1933, after being ill about a week with pneumonia. Mr. Proper was born in Sunapee, N. H., on March 4, 1905. He received a B. S. de- gree from the University of New Hampshire in 1926 and a M. S. degree from the same institution the following year, having majored in entomology. On July 1, 1927, he was appointed a Junior Entomologist in the U. S. Bureau of En- tomology for work at the Bureau's laboratory at Melrose Highlands, Mass., with which station he was connected up to the time of his death.
Although Mr. Proper had published but one entomolog- ical article, another manuscript had been accepted for pub- lication, and he was to have presented a paper at the Bos- ton, Mass., 1933, meeting of the Entomological Society of America. At the time of his death he was preparing two other manuscripts. These and the papers he had completed had to do directly or indirectly with forest and shade tree insects. Collecting insects in the White Mountains inter- ested him and he spent much of his vacation time on hiking trips in that region.
Mr. Proper was a member of the Cambridge Entomolog- ical Club, at the meetings of which he was a regular at- tendant.
