John Farwell Ferry, an Associate of the American Ornithologists' 

 Union, died at St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, February 11, 1910, of acute 

 pneumonia, at the age of 32 years. He was born October 12, 1877, and 

 was a grandson of John V. Farwell, a wealthy dry goods merchant, and 

 though reared in affluence, he preferred an outdoor life to the counting room 

 of a great business institution, having early developed a strong love for 

 natural history. After preparation for college at Andover, Massachusetts, 

 he took a civil engineering course at the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, 

 graduating in 1901. He remained in New Haven till 1902, acting as secre- 

 tary of the Young Men's Christian Association. For the next two years he 

 was a traveling agent for the American Cereal Company for the New York 

 State territory. ■ Finding, however, a commercial career . distasteful he 

 became associated with the U. S. Biological Survey as a field collector, 

 under the direction of Dr. C. Hart Merriam, spending one season in Cali- 

 fornia collecting birds and mammals. On February 1, 1906, he joined 

 the staff of the Field Museum of Natural History as assistant in the Depart- 

 ment of Zoology, under Prof. Charles B. Cory, curator, and later made 

 a number of expeditions in the interests of the Field Museum. In 1907 

 he visited various sections of Illinois, and in January, February, and 

 March, 1908, visited Panama and Costa Rica, where he secured a valuable 

 collection of birds and mammals. From Costa Rica he went to Venezuela, 

 and made collections on the adjacent islands of Cura^oa, Bonaire, and 

 Aruba. In January, 1909, he again visited the islands off the coast of 

 northern South America and spent several months exploring the islands
