40 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW HAVEN MEETING 



Society, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 

 and of the Association of American Geographers. He was a member of 

 the Boston Society of Natural History, of the National Geographic Soci- 

 ety, the Seismological Society of America, the Sigma Xi, the National 

 Educational Association, and the New York State Teachers' Association; 

 Foreign Correspondent of the Geological Society of London, the Geo- 

 graphical Society of Vienna, and Corresponding Member of the Inter- 

 national Commission on Glaciers. 



Professor Tarr was married to Miss Kate Story, of Gloucester, March 

 28, 1892. A son, Eussell Tarr, a daughter, and Mrs. Tarr survive him. 



Paraphrasing now the colloquial declaration of the young geologist not 

 yet out of college, writing in his camp at San Saba, on Christmas day 

 twenty-three years ago, we may truthfully say of him: 



He did with dispatch all he could, and he made every moment count. 



The photograph reproduced in plate 3 was taken about 1892 by D. 

 Evans, of Ithaca, New York. •
