16 APPENDIX 



Th3 officers for this meeting were, President, F. A. P. BARNARD, President 

 of Columbia College; Vice President, A. A. GOULD, M. D., of Boston; 

 General Secretary, Prof. ELIAS LooMis,of Yale College ; Permanent Secretary, 

 Prof. JOSEPH LOVERINO, of Harvard College; Treasurer, A. L. ELWYN, 

 M. D., of Philadelphia. 



The next meeting of the Association will be held at Burlington, Vt, 

 commencing August 21st, 1867. The following are the officers elected for 

 the meeting: President, Prof. J. S. NEWBERRY, of New York; Vice Presi- 

 dent, Prof. WOLLCOTT GIBBS, of Cambridge; Permanent Secretary, Prof 

 JOSEPH LOVERING, of Cambridge ; General Secretary, Prof. C. S. LTMAN, 

 of New Haven ; Treasurer, Dr. A. L. ELWYN, of Philadelphia. 



We think that it would, perhaps, have been more advisable to have had 

 the meeting for 1867 held at a more central city, which would have induced 

 a larger number of members from the West and South to attend, but still 

 we hope that, notwithstanding the extreme northern location of the meeting, 

 members from all the states will endeavor to be present and maintain its 

 character as an American Association. 



OBITUAEY NOTICES. 



REV. STILLMAN BARDEN, of Rockport, Mass ; well known as a mineral- 

 ogist, died at his residence on August 7, 1865, of consumption. Mr. Bar- 

 den was an active and enthusiastic collector and a thorough lover of nature. 

 He had gathered a large cabinet of minerals which will be kept up by his son 

 Edward, who has inherited his father's taste for mineralogy. 



DR. SIMEON SHURTLEFF, of Weatogue, Hartford Co., Ct., a general 

 student of nature and especially interested in Botany, Ornithology and Con- 

 chology, died at his residence on December 29, 1865. 



THOMAS DANIELS, of Cincinnati, Ohio, died in January, 1866. Mr. 

 Daniels was known to many naturalists as a student of Palaeontology. 



WILLIAM GLEN, of Cambridge, Mass., died of consumption at his 

 home on May 25, 1866. Mr. Glen was a native of Scotland and came to this 

 country in 1854. For several years he was an Assistant in the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology, at Cambridge. He was a person of most remark- 

 able skill in his manipulations, and certainly had no superior in preparing 

 sections and microscopical objects. By the sad death of Mr. Glen science 

 has lost a careful, enthusiastic and faithful worker. 



PROFESSOR HENRY DARWIN ROGERS, LL. D., F. R. S., &c., of Glas- 

 gow, Scotland, died at his residence in Shawlands, near Glasgow, on Tues- 

 day, May 29, 1866, soon after his return from a visit to the United States. 

 In 1857, Professor Rogers was called to the chair of Regius Professor of Ge- 

 ology and Natural History in the University of Glasgow, which he filled to 

 the time of his death. His intimate connection with the Geology of Amer- 

 ica, and especially his great work on the Geology of Pennsylvania, will ever 

 endear his name to American Naturalists. He was born in Philadelphia in 

 1809.
