Society, and also a member of the Board of Managers. As a 
tribute to the memory of a helpful friend, the following resolu- 
tion was adopted :

Zoological Society learned with deep regret of the death of their 
late associate, William A. Stiles, and desire to place on record 
this tribute to his zeal and interest in the work of this Society, 
and 
‘“ RESOLVED, That the Secretary cause this Resolution to be 
spread upon the minutes, and a copy thereof to be transmitted 
to the family of the late William A. Stiles.’’
