VITA. 



The only child of George Monroe, and Elizabeth Learned Dimmock, I, Greorge Dimmock, 

 was born the 17th of May 1852, in Springfield, Massachusetts, U. S. A. 



After several years of study in the public schools of my native city, I was fitted, at 

 the Harvard School, a private school in Springfield, to enter Harvard College. Cambridge, 

 Massachusetts, which I entered in 1873, and from which, on graduation in 1877, I received 

 the degree of bachelor of arts, with honors in natural history. 



In October 1879, I was matriculated, as student of natural history, in the University 

 of Leipzig, where I remained until the autumn of 1881. In Leipzig my time was chiefly 

 devoted to the study of zoology in the laboratory of Professor Leuckart, in addition to 

 whose lectures, I attended lectures by Professors Carstanjen, Carus, Credner, Schenk and 

 Wiedemann, and by Doctors Chun, Fraisse, von Ihering, Luerssen and Marshall.
