tion continued for a considerable portion of each year for the 

 following ten years, becoming interrupted later in consequence of 

 Mr. Sennett's business engagements, which left him very little time 

 for work on his collections at the Museum. This long association 

 was marked by the utmost cordiality in all our relations. He was 

 always genial, generous and just, liberal minded, and scrupulously 

 conscientious. In this estimate of his character I am sure I voice 

 the sentiments of all those who knew him most intimately. Of 

 fine physique, and, up to the last few years of his life, possessed 

 of robust health, his future seemed to promise a long period of 

 activity and usefulness. During the winter of 1897, however, he 

 suffered a severe attack of pneumonia, and for some time there 

 seemed little chance of his recovery. Although surviving this 

 nearly fatal illness, he never fully regained his health, and the 

 complication of diseases from which, after a short illness, he died, 

 was clearly traceable to the earlier attack. In his untimely death 

 science has lost an earnest worker, the American Ornithologists' 

 Union a worthy and devoted member, and those who were his 

 intimate scientific associates a valued personal friend.
