1894.] NEW-YORK MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY. 53 



Dr. Lockwood was an expert microscopist, using his knowledge 

 of the instrument especially in lines of public instruction and 

 benefit. He was one of the founders of the New Jersey State 

 Microscopical Society, and for some years its President. He was 

 elected an Honorary Member of the New York Microscopical So- 

 ciety in 1S84, and his interest and zeal in the welfare of this organ- 

 ization are evidenced by his many instructive and valuable ad- 

 dresses, and by his presentation of objects through these years 

 very nearly to the close of his course. 



He was possessed of admirable traits of character. Integrity, 

 good-will, and firmness have left him an irreproachable record. 

 His extending knowledge and facile, accurate expression have 

 made him a desired leader and manager of affairs in his lines of 

 duty. Reverence guiding his enthusiastic unfoldings of nature 

 always tended to point the hearer to the Creator. And a kindly 

 disposition, pervaded by a vein of humor, made him a desirable 

 companion. His death will leave a void in the hearts of many 

 acquaintances and friends.
