resolution of condolence on the death of j. c. hawver 



In appreciation of the life and scientific work of Dr. J. C. Hawver, 

 who died on May 15, 1911, Dr. J. C. Merriam moved that the following 

 resolutions be adopted and incorporated in the minutes of the Society, 

 and that a copy of the same be sent to the widow of the late Doctor 

 Hawver : 



Dr. J. C. Hawver will long be remembered as a mail of wide and sympa- 

 thetic interests, whose ardent enthusiasm as a collector has materially aided 

 in the study of the past and present fauna of the Sierra region. As the dis- 

 coverer and explorer of Hawver Cave, in Eldorado County, California, he se- 

 cured a rich representation of the Pleistocene fauna, which he has generously 

 presented to the University of California. Though Doctor Hawver was not a 

 large contributor to scientific literature, his name must always have a place in 

 the history of paleontologic and geologic work in California.
