EDMUND ANDREWS. 
Dr. Edmund Andrews died at Mercy Hospital, Chicago, on 
January 22nd.. He was born at Putney, Vermont, on April 
22nd, 1824; he graduated from the University of Michigan and 
was chief surgeon at camp Douglas during the civil war, after 
which he settled in Chicago and was a practicing physician and 
surgeon there until the time of his death. Dr. Andrews early 
became interested in geological phenomena and was especially 
interested in glacial deposits, on which he published several 
papers, as listed below; in 1874 he presented a paper on a the- 
ory of geyser action before the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science. The chief geological work for which 
he will be remembered is his paper on "The North American 
lakes, considered as chronometers of post-glacial time," which 
was published in 1870. In this he brought forward evidence 
as to the time required to form the various beaches at the south 
end of lake Michigan and from this a calculation as to the 
length of time which has elapsed since the end of the Glacial 
period. Dr. Andrews was one of the founders of the Chicago 
Academy of Sciences and has served as president of that so- 
ciety; he was also one of the founders of the Chicago Medical 
College, which later became the Medical School of North- 
western University and with which he was connected at thc- 
time of his death. Dr. Andrews' papers which relate to geo- 
logical subjects are as follows:
