Enihient Living Geologists — Prof. John Morris. 485 



His own College, on his retireraent from tlie active duties of his 

 Chair, resolved, in appreciation of his valuable services, to retain his 

 connexion with the Institution by appointing him " Emeritus 

 Professor." 



Professor Morris is also a Foreign Member of the Royal and 

 Imperial Geological Institute of Vienna, of the Natural History 

 Society of Dresden, of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadel- 

 phia, and of the Societe Geologique du Nord. 



Murchison's name is inscribed on a tablet in Bavaria's Walhalla ; 

 though the name of his early and life-long friend may never find a 

 place there, it will ever be a household word to geologists, and his 

 services can never be forgotten by the younger men now actively'' 

 advancing the science of geology, many of whom owe so much to 

 his teaching.

jure a nobis artium magister hodie salutatus, quasi ex alto mari in portum placidum 

 vectus hac saltem laureola nunc demum coronatur, 



ceu pressffi cum jam portum tetigere carinee 

 puppibus et Iseti nautse imposuere coronas. 

 Ceterum nobis vix necesse est coram illo plura dicere, cui lapides quoque muti 

 loquuntur ; quod si talis viri laudes prorsus tacuissemus, prope ipsa saxa (nisi fallor) 

 indignabunda reelamare voluissent. 



Duco ad vos Johannem Morris. .
