LORD STRATHCONA AND MOUNT ROYAL. 

 By Robert Campbell, M.A., D.D. 



Referring- to the death of Lord Strathcona and 

 Mount Royal, which took place on January 21st, 1914, 

 the Natural History Society of Montreal passed the 

 following resolution at the first meeting of the Society 

 which followed the event : 



''The Natural History Society of Montreal places on 

 record its sense of the heavy loss it has sustained in the 

 death of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, who, while 

 resident in this city, took a deep personal interest in the 

 affairs of the Society and acted for several years as one 

 of its Vice-Presidents, and who, since 1900, has been its 

 Honorary President. His extensive travels in the wilds 

 of Canada, and his keen observation of all that came 

 under his eye gave him a wide acquaintance with the 

 phenomena of nature, so that he was a very practical 

 naturalist and was always able to contribute to the dis- 

 cussions of the Society. He also responded liberally 

 when appealed to for aid in furthering the objects of the 

 Society in carrying on its undertakings. The members 

 recall with pleasure the geniality of his bearing and hold 

 his personality in grateful remembrance. The Society 

 extends sincere sympathy to the Baroness Strathcona
