The Eecording Secretary reported the following deaths : 



Eobert Parr Whitfield, Curator of Geology and Invertebrate Paleon- 

 tology at the American Museum of Natural History from 1877 to 1909, 

 inclusive, and Curator Emeritus of the Department since 1 January, 

 1910, died 6 April, 1910, at Troy, N. Y. Professor Whitfield had been 

 an active member of the Academy since 1879, and in the early years of 

 his residence in this city, he took much interest in its work. He was a 

 vice-president from 1894-1895 and a Fellow of the Academy. A paleon- 

 tologist of the old school, a keen observer of form, a wonderfully skillful 

 draughtsman, an assiduous describer of species, his influence was for 

 many years great in his chosen specialty, and his impress upon paleonto- 

 logic science is permanent. 



Eutherford Stuyvesant, an active member for 42 years and a Fellow 

 of the Academy for 1 year. 



On motion, the death of Professor Whitfield was referred to the Com- 

 mittee on Members with the recommendation that a suitable memorial 

 be prepared. 



The Eecording Secretary read a letter from Professor Viktor von Lang 

 sending greetings and acknowledging the receipt of his appointment as 

 delegate to represent the Academy at the semi-centenary of the founda- 

 tion of the Verein zur Verbreitung naturwissenschaftlicher Kenntnisse 

 of Vienna. 



The Academy then adjourned. 



Edmund Otis Hovey, 



Recording Secretary.
