Biographical Note
Fordyce Grinnell, Jr., 1882-1943
Grinnell was born 1882 June 17, in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, son of Dr. Fordyce Grinnell and Elizabeth Pratt Grinnell. His
brother was Joseph Grinnell, an esteemed ornithologist who served as the first director of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology
at the University of California, Berkeley, until his death in 1939.
Fordyce's interest in entomology started at a young age and he began corresponding with another young entomologist, John Adams
Comstock, Jr. when he was just 12 years old. Fordyce was a noted lepidopterist in Southern California, and he founded the
Lorquin Natural History Club (now the Lorquin Entomological Society) in June 1913. Grinnell was an assistant curator of entomology
at the Southwest Museum from 1916-1917, and he obtained his BA from Stanford in 1918.
Following his graduation, he moved to Hawaii, where he taught until 1921. In 1922, he moved to the Philippines, and after
a brief unsuccessful stint as a teacher, turned to collecting specimens full-time. He collected butterflies and beetles in
the Philippines for the Bureau of Science in Manila and the Hill Museum in Surrey, England, until 1923, when he then traveled
to Australia. He traveled extensively throughout Australia, continuing to collect specimens until 1930, when his widowed mother
requested he return to the United States. He died in San Francisco, California on 1943 July 20.
The Fordyce Grinnell insect collection was purchased by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County at the urging of
John Comstock. At least part, and possibly all, of that specimen collection was transferred to the Riverside Municipal Museum
in 1951.

Administrative history
In June of 1913, a small notice inserted by F. Grinnell, Jr. in a Los Angeles daily newspaper, stated that a meeting of boys
interested in natural history was to be held in the home of Harold Strawn in Los Angeles and that "all boys interested in
natural history were welcome to attend."
Grinnell along with Harold Strawn and Paul Ruthling attended the meeting.
A constitution committee was appointed in August of that same year consisting of Ralph Church, Rutherford D. Moore, and Paul
Ruthling. The Club's constitution was adopted by a group of "ten boys" who elected officers and proceeded to be known ast
the Lorquin Natural History Club. The Club was limited to twenty active members.
Regular meetings were held the first Friday of every month. In 1914, after the opening of the Southwest Museum, Hector Alliot
offered the Club a space for their meetings.
The Club published the journal
Lorquinia from 1916-1919.
In the latter part of the 20th Century, the club was renamed to the Lorquin Entomological Society.
