JEAN HENRI, a French entomologist and writer; born at Saint- Léons, Avignon, in 1823. For several years he taught in the Lycee of Avignon and afterward served as Professor of Physics at the College of Ajaccio. He retired from teaching, however, to devote himself entirely to the study of entomology and from 1879 to 1907 he devoted himself to writing the great work in ten volumes, entitled "Souvenirs entomologiques." This was crowned by the Institute. The greater part has been translated into English. He wrote "The Life of the Insects" (1910) and many other works. He was a corresponding member of the Institute and Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Among his works translated into English are "Insect Life" (1901); "The Life and Love of the In- FABRICIUS sect" (1911); "Social Life in the Insect World" (1913); "The Life of the Spider"; and "The Life of the Fly" (1913).
