George Duryea Hulst (9 March 1846 – 5 November 1900)[1] was an American clergyman, botanist and entomologist.
[1] He was the pastor at the South Bushwick Reformed Church in Brooklyn, New York, starting soon after his ordination in 1869, and continuing until his death in 1900.
Although this was his main focus, he also managed to make substantial contributions to science during those same years.
He was an early member in the Brooklyn Entomological Society, and he was editor of its publication Entomologia Americana from 1887 to 1889.
He resigned after only a year when it became apparent that it took too much time away from his primary responsibility as pastor, but left a good foundation for his successor, John Bernhardt Smith, to build upon.
