It is with deep regret that we record the death of the follow- 

 ing subscribers during the year 1914: 



William A. Dolan 

 William A. Dolan was born on October 7, 1874, in Tarry- 

 town, New York. In January, 1901, he entered the service of 

 the Museum and was assigned to the Department of Taxi- 

 dermy where he devoted his time principally to the tanning 

 of the skins of mammals required for mounting. His cor- 

 diality won for him a host of friends among the employees 

 and his skilful workmanship merited the frequent approval 

 of the officials of the Museum. He died on February 24, 1914. 



John A. Grossbeck 

 John A. Grossbeck was born on February 2, 1883, in Pater- 

 son, New Jersey. He came to the Museum about four years 

 ago, having previously been connected with the New Jersey 

 Experiment Station. Mr. Grossbeck as an Assistant in the 

 Department of Invertebrate Zoology had charge of the Lepi- 

 doptera, specializing in Geometridae. His investigations in 

 Entomology were rapidly gaining for him an enviable reputa- 

 tion among the workers in this branch of science. In recog- 

 nition of his gift, a valuable collection of insects, he was 

 elected a Patron of the Museum. He died in Barbados on 



April 8, 1914. _ „ 



Christian Hundertpfund 



Christian Hunderpfund was born on January 19, 1863, in 

 New York City. He was attached to the custodian's force 

 where he served for twelve years. His genial courtesy made 

 him ever welcome in groups of his co-workers and the ef- 

 ficient manner in which he performed his duties always met 

 with approval. He died on April 18, 1914. 



Christopher Schroth 

 Christopher Schroth was born on January 4, 1856, in Ell- 

 mendingen, Baden, Germany. He entered the employment of 

 the Museum in 1898 and was assigned to the custodian's force. 

 The pride he took in his work was most noticeable. His 

 cheerful greetings, even during the period of his protracted 

 illness, form a pleasant memory of an agreeable man and a 

 faithful worker. He died on September 18, 1914.
