OBITUARY. 

 Dr. Walter A. Dun. 

 Past-President, Cincinnati Society of Natural History. 

 An investigator of Nature has fulfilled its laws, a student of 

 Science has solved its highest problem, for Walter A. Dun rests 

 from his terrestrial labors. Young in years, but mature in wisdom; 

 of erudition, yet unpretentious; respected by all, and to all respect- 

 ful ; an incessant worker, brilliant and enthusiastic; frank, open- 

 hearted, humane and sympathetic, his death is a sorrow to all who 

 knew him, and a serious loss to our Society.
