RESOLUTIONS. 



Mr. F. "W". Putnam offered the following Resolutions : — 



Resolved: — That in the death of Jeffries Wyman the Boston 

 Society of Natural History mourns the loss of a most honored mem- 

 ber and efficient officer; one who was untiring in his labors for the 

 Society during his long and active connection with it as Curator, 

 Secretary and President; and that, in his death, Science has lost a 

 most thorough and careful investigator, and the cause of education 

 and truth a most devoted and conscientious disciple. 



Resolved : — That as members of a Society who gave to Professor 

 Wyman the highest honor and position we could bestow, we ac- 

 knowledge our indebtedness to him for the thoughtfulness and care 

 with which he guided our labors for so many years, and, while filled 

 with sorrow at our own loss, we ask the privilege, by transmission of 

 these resolutions, of extending our sympathy to his bereaved family 

 in their great trial. 



These Resolutions were seconded by Dr. D. H. Storer, 

 who said : — 



Mr. President, I most cordially second the adoption of the 

 Resolutions which have been presented. The scientific repu- 

 tation of our departed friend was universally acknowledged, 

 but the beauty of his life was equally worthy of admiration. 

 I never knew a gentler, purer, nobler spirit. As a brother I 

 loved him, and I mourn him. 



The Resolutions were unanimously adopted.
