Transcription Notes:
Reviewed. Figured out some of the [[?]] & discovered info below about Canon Foster. -@siobhanleachman GEORGE FOSTER 1870-1935 Canon Foster was born at Ventry, Co. Kerry, educated at Belfast and Dublin, taking the degrees of B.A. (R.U.I.) and B.D. (London), and spent his life as a clergyman in Co. Down. From boyhood he was a keen zoologist, and specialized in the Lepidoptera. He collected much in Ireland, chiefly in Armagh, Down, Donegal and Kerry. His "Lepidoptera of County Down" (Proc. Belf. Nat. Field Club 3, Appendix 5) is a valuable local list.
