. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. ..(18 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL September the way as was also the little prov- ince of Carniola, in southern Austria, with the result that the four years from 1886-90 were spent in the fast- nesses of the Carnic Alps in inves- tigating, breeding and giving to the world the docile bees native to these mountains. In 1890 Dr. Benton was commis- sioned by Dr. C. V. Riley, the United States Entomologist at Washington, to proceed to the Orient for the pur- pose of carrying on further investiga- tions of the'giant bees of India, and to study and import the Blastophaga wasp from Smyrna in the interest of establishing the Smyrna fig indus- try in California. Unfortunately, this commission passed Dr. Benton on the high seas, as he had already sailed from Hamburg for New York in December of 1890, after an absence from his native land of eleven years. On his arrival in America Dr. Ben- ton was offered a chair in modern languages at Cornell University, and at the same time came an offer from the United States Government to go into scientific work at Washington. It was not an easy matter to decide, especially for one so rarely gifted in both fields of endeavor. But at the parting of the ways Dr. Benton, at the age of 39 years elected to go into scientific work, thereafter becoming only indirectly identified with acade- mic life as an occasional lecturer. He proceeded to Washington in July, 1891, the proposed trip of exploration abroad being held in abeyance for the time being, and fourteen years intervened before this second jour- ney was finally undertaken. It was not until June, 1905, that Dr. Benton finally undertook his second tour of apicultural and botanical ex- ploration which became a world em- bracing expedition, and everywhere he was welcomed and given the high- est attention and every consideration by both scientific workers and mem- bers of apicultural societies and of the apicultural press.
