  J. 
  Francis 
  Williams, 
  Assistant 
  Professor 
  of 
  Geology 
  and 
  

   Mineralogy 
  in 
  Cornell 
  University; 
  died 
  at 
  Ithaca, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  on 
  

   November 
  8th, 
  of 
  malarial 
  fever. 
  He 
  was 
  but 
  twenty-nine 
  years 
  

   of 
  age, 
  but 
  had 
  already 
  done 
  some 
  excellent 
  scientific 
  work 
  and 
  

   his 
  life, 
  thus 
  prematurely 
  closed, 
  gave 
  promise 
  of 
  being 
  highly 
  

   useful 
  «and 
  successful. 
  For 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  he 
  had 
  been 
  a 
  teacher 
  

   at 
  Clark 
  University 
  in 
  Worcester, 
  Mass., 
  and 
  under 
  the 
  direction 
  

   of 
  the 
  University 
  he 
  had 
  spent 
  considerable 
  time 
  in 
  the 
  survey 
  of 
  

   Arkansas, 
  collecting 
  materials 
  for 
  a 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  petrography 
  of 
  

   the 
  State, 
  which 
  is 
  now 
  ready 
  for 
  publication. 
  Articles 
  by 
  him 
  

   upon 
  some 
  Arkansas 
  minerals 
  have 
  been 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  numbers 
  

   of 
  this 
  Journal 
  for 
  December, 
  1890, 
  and 
  July, 
  1891. 
  At 
  the 
  time 
  

   of 
  his 
  death 
  he 
  had 
  hardly 
  more 
  than 
  entered 
  upon 
  his 
  new 
  duties 
  

   at 
  Cornell, 
  but 
  his 
  loss 
  is 
  deeply 
  felt 
  there, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  in 
  circles 
  

   where 
  he 
  was 
  better 
  known.
