518 Canadian Record of Science 



ber of the Natural History Society, having been elected 

 in January, 1902. He took an active and interested 

 part in the Society's proceedings, always ready out of 

 his large range of knowledge of scientific subjects, to 

 contribute to the discussions of the Society. He was 

 especially helpful to the Microscopical Section of the 

 Natural History Society, of which he was for several 

 years President. He had the honour of being elected a 

 Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society in 1889. He 

 was also a member of the American Miscroscopical So- 

 ciety, and his name was held in high regard also in other 

 microscopical societies. He was a deep and earnest 

 student of nature ; of a genial temperament and generous 

 disposition, he was never too busy to help the struggling 

 enquirer materially as well as in sharing with him his 

 extensive knowledge. 



The Society records its deep sympathy with his son, 

 Mr. Leslie G. Craig, on the death of his honoured and 

 much-mourned father. 



MR. JONATHAN HODGSON. 



Dear Mrs. Hodgson, — 



I am directed by the Natural History Society of 

 Montreal to communicate to you the following resolution 

 passed by the Society at its last meeting : 



The Natural History Society of Montreal places on 

 record the deep sense of loss which it has sustained in 

 the decease of Mr. Jonathan Hodgson, one of its life 

 members. He was one of the oldest members of the So- 

 ciety, and was interested in it as he was in all institu- 

 tions which had for their aim the enlightenment and 

 betterment of the community. The Society sympathizes 

 with his mourning family in their great sorrow and 

 commends them to the compassions of the God of all 

 consolation. It is ordered that a copy of this resolution 

 be sent to his family. On behalf of the Society, 



ROBERT CAMPBELL, Vice-President, presiding.
