Rev. George D. Hulst. 



It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Rev. Dr. 

 George Duryea Hulst, which occurred very suddenly at Brooklyn, 

 N. Y., on November 5, 1900, in the 54th year of his age. For 

 thirty-one years Dr. Hulst has been pastor of the South Bushwick 

 Reformed church, and death found him preparing to visit the sick. 

 As he was about to leave the house, he sank to the floor and ex- 

 pired immediately. 



Dr. Hulst was one of the best known ministers in the Re- 

 formed church, and among the foremost in all other good works. 

 He was a Fellow of the American Association for trie Advance- 

 ment of Science, President of the Department of Botany of the 

 Brooklyn Institute, and member of many other societies. He 

 was an authority in entomology, and was at one time Professor of 

 Entomology in Rutgers College. His botanical work is too well 

 known to need comment here. Although he but recently became 

 a member of our Chapter, he has long been interested in ferns- 

 About two weeks before his death he sent us the article which 

 appears in this number.
