John Strong Newberry.— Born at Windsor, Conn., Dec. 22, 
1822, died in New York, Dec. 7, 1892. He graduated from Western 
Reserve College 1846 and from Cleveland Medical College 1848. He 
studied abroad for two years and then practiced medicine in Cleve- 
land until 1855 when he was appointed acting Surgeon and Geologist 
to an exploring expedition through the country between San Fran- 
cisco and the Columbia River. He went on several of these 
expeditions studying the botanical, zoological, and geological 
features of the country. In 1869 he was appointed Chief Geologist 
to the Geological Survey of Ohio. 
In 1859 Newberry published the first State Catalogue of Ohio 
Plants. About 1865 he was made professor of Geology and palaeon- 
tology at Columbia College School of Mines which position he held
