158 TRANSACTIONS OF THE (Mar. 27 
interest, and in collections illustrating economic geology, neces- 
sitated by the character of the instruction. 
Of the events during this last third of Dr. Newberry’s life 
rich in labor and fame, only brief notice can be given. 
In 1867 he was President of the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science, at the Burlington meeting, and gave 
the presidential address. In the same year he received from 
his Alma Mater the degree of LL. D. 
In February 1868, Dr. Newberry became the President of the 
Lyceum of Natural History in the City of New York (after 1876 
the New York Academy of Sciences) and remained the presi- 
dent of the society until the year of his death. His name was 
enrolled in most of the learned societies in America, and in 
many foreign societies. 
When the Ohio State Geological Survey was established in 
1869, Dr. Newberry, who had kept his home in Cleveland, was 
called by Governor Hayes to the directorship and for several 
years the work absorbed most of the energy and time that 
could be spared from his college duties. The results will be 
spoken of later in this paper. An error was made in postponing 
the publication of the economic work and the appropriations 
were suspended in 1874. There was no formal termination of 
Dr. Newberry’s survey, but from about 1878 he felt that his 
work there was over, and that there had been injustice and 
ingratitude, which wounded his sensitive spirit and perhaps 
somewhat embittered the later years of his life. 
At the Centennial Exposition, 1876, Dr. Newberry was one 
of the judges, and prepared the report upon building and orna- 
mental stones. From 1880 to 1890 he was President of the 
Torrey Botanical Club. In 1884 he was appointed one of the 
paleontologists of the U. 8. Geological Survey, with particular 
reference to his favorite lines of study, fossil plants and fossil 
fishes. 
One of his highest.and most appreciated honors fell to him in 
1888 in the award of the Murchison Medal, conferred by the 
Geological Society of London for distinguished services to geo- 
logic science. In 1889 he was First Vice-President of the 
Geological Society of America, which he had helped to institute 
in 1888. He wasone of the committee of the American Asso- 
ciation for the Advancement of Science which was instrumental 
in organizing the International Congress of Geologists, and 
perhaps his crowning and well deserved honor as a geologist 
came in his election as President of the Congress for the Wash- 
ington meeting, in August, 1891. But the tribute came too late
