110 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL 
DARIUS OGDEN MILLS 
T the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees the following 
resolutions were passed with reference to Mr. D. O. Mills, who 
died January 3, 1910: 
This Board records with sorrow its tribute to the late 
Darius OGpEN MiLis 
for twenty-eight years one of its number. 
Mr. Mills was elected a Trustee February thirteenth, eighteen hundred 
eighty-two, and a year later was made a member of the Finance Committee, 
on which he continued to serve until his death. He was one of the four 
members of the committee appointed in eighteen hundred ninety-two to 
consider arrangements for educational codperation. He also served on the 
Nominating Committee and was its Chairman for over fifteen years. 
The Museum is indebted to Mr. Mills for many generous gifts. 
Since the foundation of the Museum forty-odd years ago many promi- 
nent and distinguished men have served on the Board of Trustees, but none 
whose presence was more welcome than that of Mr. Mills. Quiet and 
gentle in his manner, sound in judgment and wise in counsel, modest and 
simple but full of good sense, just and true in every dealing, he was loved 
and appreciated by all who knew him. His death on January third leaves 
his fellow Trustees of this Board with a feeling of profound sense of loss 
and with the greatest admiration for his fine and lovable qualities of char- 
acter. 
REPORT FROM THE FABBRI YACHT 
HE yacht “'Tekla” which has been cruising in the waters of 
southern Florida, under command of her owner Mr. Alessandro 
Fabbri, in behalf of the Department of Fishes has succeeded in 
obtaining many interesting forms which are new to the Museum’s 
collections, and the Messrs. Fabbri are carrying on the work with great 
energy and enthusiasm and expect to take plaster moulds from fishes 
which can be captured a little later in the season. By invitation of the 
Messrs. Fabbri the writer had the privilege of accompanying the yacht 
as the Museuim’s representative.
