76 The American Geologist. Ansust. loot 
conversationalist. His quiet humour was infectious, and any 
dinner party which numbered him among- the gxiests was sure 
to be a merry one. He seemed to have an inexhaustible fund 
of information, not merely about his own special lines of work, 
but covering- the w^idest range O'f subjects. The marvel was 
how in his busy life he had acquired so much and such varied 
knowledge. For one of apparently delicate constitution his 
powers of enduring prolonged physical exertion -were as re- 
markable as his capacity for continuous mental activity. He 
was at work at his office until two days before his death, the 
immediate cause of which was capillary bronchitis. The secret 
of Dr. Dawson's widespread popularity, no doubt, lay in his 
downright unselfishness and in his sunny and sympathetic na- 
ture. B. J. H.
