OBITUARY. 
Professor Thomas H. Montgomery, Jr. 
(Portrait, Plate XIII) 
Thomas Harrison Montgomery, Jr., Ph.D., Professor of 
Zoology in the University of Pennsylvania, died on March 
19th, at the Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, after a pro- 
longed attack of pneumonia. 
Dr. Montgomery was the son of the late Thomas Harrison 
Montgomery and Anna Morton, daughter of Samuel George 
Morton, one of the founders of the sciences of craniology, 
and president of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- 
phia. He was born in New York on March 5, 1873, and re- 
ceived his early education at the Episcopal Academy in Phila- 
delphia. After two years as a student in the University of 
Pennsylvania, 1889 to 1891, he spent three years in the study 
of Zoology at the University of Berlin and received the degree 
of Ph. D. at that institution in 1894. 
On his return to this country he held a research position at 
the Wistar Institute for a few years. He was also Professor 
of Biology and Director of the Museum of the Wagner Insti- 
tute of Philadelphia. In 1898 he was made Instructor and 
afterward Assistant Professor of Zoology in the University of 
Pennsylvania. From 1903 to 1908 he was Professor of 
Zoology in the University of Texas, but in the latter year he 
was recalled to take charge of the Department of Zoology in 
the University of Pennsylvania. Shortly afterward he was 
intrusted by the University with the chief responsibility for 
the planning and construction of the new Zoological Labora- 
tory. Into this labor he threw himself with his usual untiring 
energy, giving personal attention to every detail. The building 
was completed in 1911, and will stand as a monument to his 
foresight and his executive ability.
