 born ofi"ered the following Resolution on the death of Professor G. Brown 

 Goode, after paying a tribute to his memory: — Resolved: That the mem- 

 bers of the Biological Section of the New York Academy of Sciences desire 

 to express their deep sense of loss in the death of Professor G. Brown Goode 

 of the U. S. National Museum. In common with all naturalists in this coun- 

 try, we have admired his intelligent and highly successful administration of 

 the National Museum as well as his prompt and ready response to the re- 

 quests and needs of similar institutions throughout the country. In face of 

 the arduous and exacting duties of bis directorship he has held a leading 

 position among American zoologists and we are indebted to him for a series 

 of invaluable investigations, especially upon the fishes. Those of us who had 

 the good fortune to know Professor Goode personally, recall his singular 

 charm of character, his genial interest in the work of others, his true scien- 

 tific spirit. We have thus lost one of our ablest fellow -workers and one of 

 the truest and best of men. The resolution was adopted unanimously by a 

 rising vote. — Charles L. Bristol, Secretary.
