The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia desires to place 

 on record its appreciation of the loss it has sustained in the death of 

 Lewis Woolman, who, since his election to membership in 1884, has 

 manifested a constant interest in the well-being of the society. His 

 work in connection with the geology of New Jersey and eastern Penn- 

 sylvania, especially as illustrated by the boring of artesian wells, formed 

 a valuable addition to knowledge. He was thorough and accurate 

 in his methods, while his intercourse with his fellow-members was 

 characterized by a hearty cheerfulness and sincerity. He was active 

 in promoting the interests of the Biological as well as those of the 

 Mineralogical and Geological Section, and during the latter months of 

 his life he rendered service to the Academy as a member of the Commit- 

 tee on Accounts. His memory will be held in grateful recollection.
