46 THE CANADIAN NATURALIST. [Vol. viii. 



of numerous other learned societies both in Europe and America. 

 At the time of his death, and for many years previous, he was 

 one of our Vice-Presidents; but though frequently solicited to 

 accept the office of President, he always declined, — not on account 

 of any lack of interest in the Society, but because he felt his 

 time was too fully occupied to permit of his successfully dis- 

 charging the Presidential duties. We have already alluded to 

 some of the medals which were awarded to him ; but it may be 

 mentioned that altogether he was the recipient of more than 

 twenty, including two from the Royal Society. 



And now, in concluding, let me say to you, my friends, if you 

 would do honour to the memory of that noble old man, who 

 fought so long, so bravely, for his country, for science, for you, 

 then honour the cause for which he fought: strive with all your 

 might to advance the interests of that cause, and to raise up a 

 superstructure befitting the solid foundation which Logan has 

 laid. He himself even hoped to build the superstructure; but 

 his anticipations were not realized, for life was not long enough, 

 and we must take up the mantle which he has dropped.
