Cincinnati Society of Natural History. 



formerly exhibited at the Cincinnati Western Museum, and afterward 

 sent to Europe. Dr. Mussey replied, u This Society must and will have 

 a suitable representation of those remarkable remains, if we have to 

 take steam machineiy and dredge the whole morass." He also sug- 

 gested at the same time another locality to which these animals proba- 

 bly resorted, perished and became entombed. 



Of his professional career it is almost superfluous to speak here. 

 Occupying as he did a high position in the medical profession, both as 

 a teacher and practitioner, his work needs no further comment. In 

 addition to the chair of Surgery in the Miami Medical College, which 

 he occupied at the time of his decease, he was also Surgeon to the 

 Cincinnati Hospital, member of the School Board, and of the Board of 

 Members of the Cincinnati Public Library. He also occupied im- 

 portant and responsible positions, as Military Surgeon during the late 

 war, and was one of the first organizers of the Cincinnati Sanitary 

 Commission. 



Physician, patriot and philanthropist, reaper and gleaner in the 

 domain of scientific research, he was at the same time an earnest 

 Christian, and most truly, it may be said of him, " a great man is 

 gone'' — "the world is better for his having lived." With profound 

 regrets for his decease, respect to his memory and sympathy for his 

 family in its bereavement, we hope and trust that the mantle of a 

 worthy father may again fall upon a worthy son.
