  his 
  sixty-eighth 
  year. 
  His

  anatomy 
  and 
  anthropology 
  were 
  numer- 
  

   ous 
  and 
  important, 
  and 
  in 
  his 
  capacity 
  of 
  museum 
  curator 
  he 
  per- 
  

   formed 
  a 
  work 
  of 
  great 
  and 
  lasting 
  value, 
  the 
  influence 
  of 
  which 
  

   has 
  been 
  widely 
  felt 
  in 
  other 
  institutions 
  at
