TO 
Dr. SAMUEL G. DIXON 
Elected a Director of the Society, April 14th, 
1892. Appointed to Executive Committee, June 
9th, 1892. 
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, a Director of the Zoo- 
logical Society, died on February 26th, 1918. For 
twenty-six years he had been one of the most use- 
ful and active members of the Board. His unusual 
executive ability, his training in medicine and 
sanitation, and his knowledge of natural history, 
were of continual service. Notwithstanding the 
demands on his time and energies made by the 
Academy of Natural Sciences, of which he was 
president, and by the State Department of Health, 
of which he was Commissioner, he was always glad 
to give his advice and assistance whenever called 
upon in the management of the Zoological Garden. 
The Directors of the Zoological Society have lost 
a loyal friend and a most distinguished colleague.
