the founders and leaders of the so-called Neolamarckian school 

 which in recent years has included so many prominent Ameri- 

 can biologists. He has also been spoken of as the founder of 

 a new school of paleontology, the distinguishing feature of 

 which is the emphasis that is placed on the study of the life his- 

 tory of the individual (ontogeny) as a rational basis of classifi- 

 cation (phylogeny). 



Professor Hyatt's enthusiasm in his work, his genial disposi- 

 tion, his readiness to receive suggestions or criticisms from any 

 source, as well as to give them freely when they were desired, 

 made him a source of inspiration to all who knew him.
