ZOOLOGICAL AND BOTANICAL ASSOCIATION. 133 



The following Resolution was moved by the Rev. Professor Haughton, 

 seconded by Dr. Carte, and carried unanimously : — 



" That this Association desires to place on record its sense of the 

 loss it has sustained, in common with other scientific bodies in Dublin, 

 by the unexpected death of the late Professor Harrison, — a loss which 

 this Association feels in particular, in consequence of the interest 

 always manifested by Dr. Harrison in the progress of zoological science 

 in the University, as evinced by his Lectures on Comparative Anatomy 

 and Zoology, and by his constant attendance at the meetings of this As- 

 sociation." 



Professor Haughton, in moving the resolution, stated that Professor 

 Harrison had been a member of the Association since 1853, and had 

 taken k the [chair at the meeting immediately preceding his death. He 

 further observed that such was Dr. Harrison's zeal in the discharge of 

 his duty, that on the very night in which he was seized with his fatal 

 illness he had been occupied to a late hour in the preparation of his ex- 

 amination for the candidates for the Anatomy Prize of the Medical 

 School of Trinity College. His last lecture of the Winter Course was 

 to be delivered on the very day on the morning of which he was sum- 

 moned to his final account. He died, as he had lived, in the cheerful 

 and conscientious discharge of daily and plain duties, and had left behind 

 him an example worthy of the imitation of all, occupied, as he had been, 

 in advancing the boundaries of human knowledge, and aiding in the alle- 

 viation of human suffering. His love of science, and honest detestation 

 of quackery and pretension in every form, were well known and appre- 

 ciated by those who knew him ; and he had the courage on all suitable 

 occasions to rebuke the arrogance and inform the ignorance of all pre- 

 tenders to knowledge they did not possess, no matter how high their 

 station, or how great their conceit. 



Dr. Carte, in seconding the resolution, remarked that he was the 

 oldest pupil of Dr. Harrison present, and could bear testimony to the 

 services that eminent man had rendered to medical science in Dublin. 

 "When he was a student, the classes were obliged to rely on their note- 

 books of lectures and their own observations, with regard even to such 

 matters as the course of the arteries and nerves. This state of things 

 had been remedied by the publication of Harrison's " Surgical Anatomy 

 of the Arteries," which was now known and used wherever the English
