By Henbt M. Ami, of tlio Zoological Survey of Canada. (Portrait) Un Sunday, the 19th day of November, 1899, there passed away to his long rest, one whose name has been inseparably connected with the progress and advancement of geological as well as paltcontological research, in the Dominion of Canada. For a few years back Sir William Dawson's health began to fail as advancing years rolled on. The constant strain of a long life of intense activity and incessant lai)our, at last wore out the chords of life in his person. Ife died peacefully at l,i? residence, 293 I'nivcrsity street. Montreal, just as the first hour of the day of rest dawned, surrounded by his wife and constant companion and a number of his children. Sir Will- iam accomplished enough during his life, in the interests of education, science, and religicjii to satisfy any three hard- working individuals. He leaves behind him such monuments of industry and perseverance as few men do. The Peter Red- p.itli Museum of McGill University alone is a monument which for ages will give food for thought to the coming gen- erations, both to students of the university and to the geolo- gists who seek to unravel the problems of geological science in the different portions of Canada, but more especially those of the maritime provinces, his native land 8 Jiiogntf^liiciil Skikli. Sir William was born in tlie town of I'ictou, Nova Scotia, on Oclobrr 13, i8jo. His grandfather was a Scotch fanner in comfortable circumstances who migrated to Nova Scotia early in the present century, and embarked in business in the town of Fictou. Sir William's father was a well-known book-seller, James Dawson, who was a gentleman of culture and attain- ments with a taste for study, and for many years supplied the needs of eastern Nova Scotia with the best literature, and pub- lished himself several works bearing upon the interest of this old crown colony. During his early days in Pictou, he was instrumental and foremost in organizing one of the very first foreign mis- sionary societies in British North America. He was one of those who helped to send the now nmowned Dr. Geddie, pioneer and founder of the New Hebrides missions which have flourished so well and produced such e.\cellent results. The following is a brief epitome of his career after leaving Pictor College. Leaving Pictou he went to Edinburgh University where he remained a winter, and took the degree of master of arts at the age of 22. In 1842 he returned to Canada, and during the summer of that year accompanied Sir Chas. Lyell in his geo- logical exploration of Nova Scotia. In his contributions to the geology of that province, Sir Charles pays many tributes to the ability of his youthful companion as a geologist. Dr. J. J. liigsby (Thesaurus Devonico-Carboniferous, p. vii, foot- note) ijuotes ^ remark from the lips of Sir Charles Lyell re- garding Sir William Dawson as follows: "On the death of Fldward Forbes, Sir Charles Lyell remarked to me 'Now, I look chiefly to Dawson, of Montreal, for any true progress in the Philosophy of Geology.'" We next find him carrying on a geological survey of the coalfields of Nova Scotia, for which task be had received the provincial appointment, and his report proved of great value. In 1846 he returned to Edinburgh University to carry on spe- cial researches and study practical chemistry and kindred sub- jects, bearing upon the prosecution of geological research. In 1847 he married Miss Margaret A. Y. Mercer, of Edin- burgh, and three years later was appointed superintendent of education for Nova Scotia, and was entrusteil with the task of Sir Jolin Williant Dmvson. — Ami. y putting a new act into operation. Meanwhile he contribiiteci several papers on economic geology, zoology, and one on for- estry. The establishment of a provincial normal school for Nova Scotia was chiefly due to him, and Sir Edmund Head appoint- ed him a member of a conunission to regulate the afifairs of Kings' College, now the University of New Brunswick. In 1854, he was elected fellow of tlie Cieological Society of Lon- don, and in the following year, appointed principal and profes- sor of natural science of McGill College, Montreal. It was through Sir Edmund Head also, then governor general of Canada, who as governor of Nova Scotia, had watched his career in that province, that the eminent iitness of Mr. Dawson became known to the governors of McGill College. They v.ere in need of a principal, and had set certain desiderata be • fore them as essential. The new principal nuist be a layman and besides this, they were detennined, that the University should, though Protestant, be entirely undenominational. The principal must nevertheless be a religir)us man, one who would be a positive influence on the side "f godliness. He must be capable and modern, and must of course be young, with his life before him. All these conditions were found in the young Nova Scotia geologist and in nothing were those who invited him disappointed. When Sir William assumed the principalship of McGill University, it was a day of small things. The financial condi- ti(3n of that institution at that time made it necessary for him to undertake the duties of several laborious professoi ships along with those of administration. The revenue then amount- ed to only a few hundreds of dollars. There were only eight instructing officers, and with the exception of the faculty of medicine, the courses were most unsatisfactory. Under his guidance, however, the institution steadily advanced, and has long since over grown the effects of the depressing influences under which it labored when he was appointed. One of the gr^at drawbacks to the success of the university was the lack of sufficient schools to prepare pupils for matriculation. With the co-operation of Sir Edmund Head, and of the superintend- ent of ])ul)lic instruction for the pnjvince of Quebec, in 1875 he secured the establishment of a normal school for Montreal, af- 10 Itiogrnfliicii/ Sirfi/i. tiliatvd to McCiil! University, for the training; of Protestant school teacliers. He was principal of McGill normal school for a period of thirteen years, in addition to his university duties. In 1858 he succeeded in establishing a school of civil engineering and surveying, which, however, after a severe struggle, succumbed at the end of five years to unfriendly legislation. Flight years later, however, he resuscitated this facult> of the university and placed it on a firm basis, so that to-day the faculty of ap- plied science in McGill Univer.sity is recognized as one of the best equipped and most thorough institutions, an object of pride not only to Montreal, but to the whole of the Dominion. I'or eight yeats Sir William was a member of the board of Protestant commissioners of schools for the juovince of (Juebec. I!e was also a member of the council of public in- struction for the province of Quebec. In iSfu he was elected fellow of the Royal Society of England, and. in 1H65 lectured before tlic British .Association for the .\dvanceniciU of Science in Birmingham. I'ive years later, 1870, he also lectured before the Royal Institute and Geological Society of London. In 1875 he was foremost in advocating the imion of the several bodies forming the Presbyterian church in Canada, which un- ion was effected in that year. In 1881 he received the L\ell medal from the Geo- logical Society of London for his important discoveries in science, and Her Majesty Queen \'ictoria created him a com- panion of the order of St. Michael and St. George, (C. M. G.), for his brilliant career in the same. In 1882 he was selected Ijy the marquis of Lome to be the first president of the Royal Society of Canada, which society has since flourished under both vice-regal and parliainentary patronage. In 1883 he was Icnighted by Her Most (Gracious Majesty, in due recognition of his scientific work and his successful pr(Mnotion of higher education. With reference to the founding of the Royal Society of Canada, in a terse maimer Sir William Dawson thus points out one of the objects for which this society was formed, "I would place here first," he says, in speaking of the ends which the society may seek to attain and the means of their attain- ment, "the establishment of a bond of union between the scat- Str Jolin W'tllutm Ddicioh. — Ami. ii UTciI workiMS. now widely separated in different parts of tlie I lominion. (Jur men of science are so few, and our country so extensive, that it is diffictilt to fiml in any one place or with- in re.isonahle distance of each other, half a dozen active workers in science. There is thus great lack of sympathy and stinnilus and of the disctission and interchange of ideas, which tend so much to correct as well as to encourage. The lonely worker finds his energies Hag, and is drawn away by the pres- sure of more popular pursuits, while his notions become one- sided and inaccurate through want of friendly conflict with men of like povversaml pursuits. I^vcn if this society can meet but once a year, something may be done to remedy the evils of isolation. * * * Again means are lacking for the ade- (juate ])ublication of results. Transactions are published by some of the local societies, but the resources at the disposal of these bodies are altogether inadecjuate, and for anything ex- tensive or costly, we have to seek means of pul)lication abroad; but this can be secured only under special circumstances: and while the public results of Canadian science become so widely scattered as to be accessible with difliculty, much that would be of scientific value fails of adc'iuate publication, more espe- cially in the matter of illustrations. * * * Should this society have sufficient means placed at its disposal, to publish transactions equal in — I shall not say to those of the Royal Society of London — or the Smithsonian fnstitution at Wash- ington — but to those of such bodies as the Philadelphia Acad- emy or the Boston Society of Natural History, an incalculable stinudus would be given to science in Canada, by promoting research, by securing to this country the credit of the work (lone in it, by collecting the information now widely scattered, anil by enabling scientific men abrcjad to learn what is being done here.'' In the same year he was elected president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which body met in tiie city of Montreal, under the .xgis of McGill University. It was in 1882 that the Peter Kedpath museum of McGill Uni- ver.sity was inaugurated. The collections which adorn the main floors and galleries of this munificent gift of the man whose name it bears, were for the most part the result of personal labours and endeavours on the part of .Sir William himself.

He was a true friend of the suulent, In had the wonderful faculty of lenienilieriiig faces and names so that even a student in the junior years he would recogni/e and salute fu'st, wherever they met. .'\s an etiucationist, Sir William takes rank with the few wh.o built up our et!ucatioual institutions in (.'anada, and gave them a high character. From the early years of his career in Nova Scotia as superintendent of education until 1894 when he resigned the princijialship of Mcdill University he never ceased to work in the interests and for the promotion of learn- ing in the highest sense of the term. lie sought in an elTective and i)ractical manner to give to the various classes of itudents under him the most advanced results of science, and research. Science education abroad occupied his attention and from the result of his observations and his knowdedge of the needs and importance of practical science education, he applied the best nuthods of teaching in the university under his care. A care- ful study of methods of work, and teaching in the Royal Sclujol of Mines, the department of science and arts, London University, the Royal Institution, Owens College Manchester, science teaching in Cambridge and Oxford, and the movement in Edinburgh, in the Sheffield Scientific school, together with science teaching in the technical universities of Ciermany and Switzerland formed a subject of an important paper from his pin. Conscious of the want of science teaching in Canada, he was foremost in what was being done at Montreal in 1870 to- wards establishing the faculty of applied science at McGill, in those lines in which practical science training should fall. Sir \\ illiam was i)articularly hapi>y when, out in the field with a class of students or with the mendjers of the Natural History Society of Montreal on their annual excursions, lie was engaged in examining the geological ])henomena of the various localities visited, and instilling into his hearers the zeal of his enthusiasm. With what vigor and dexterity he wielded the hammer! His keen, penetrating eye and a sharp lookout for any rare species or new fortn of fossil organisms was very evident on all such occasions. He did much to fos- ter and encourage the collection of specimens in all branches 14 liiogfopliiiiil Skitii'i. ot n.itnial history. In all his teachings lie was i'iiiiiunll\' prac- tical and as MKiy lie seen from the larfj^c acctinnilatioii ofma- tfiial now displayed in the cabinets of tlie I'eter Jiedpath mu- seum lie enlisted tiie co-operation of the students of the uni- versity both cliirinf^ and after their college career, and tliiis niateriaih' assisted in building up that nionument of ins in- tliistr)'. * * * * Sir William was the first librarian nf McGill University. and in 1856 prepared a catalogue of the few books whicii con- stituted the library at that time and from this small beginning sought to bring togetiier all tlie available volumes bearing on science and literature for the benefit of the students under his charge. During a recent visit t') the I'eter Redpath library of Mcdill University, the writer was shown the first series of volumes, actually the first book, to be catalogued by Sir Will- iam, under Class A, Number i, of the Library of Mctjill C(j1- lege, Montreal. Mr. C. H. Gould, 15. A., present librarian of the university pointed out tl;at by a remarkable coincidence, "The Annual Register," Vol. i of which was the \ery first book catalogued by Sir William, was also the first to be cata- logued in the new Peter Redpath library, from amongst the thousands of volumes donated by I'eter Redpath. Escp, to the university. * * * * .\s a Bible student and expositor. Sir William stood high. He ploughed deep in the books of holy writ, and subjected those writings to the same keen, critical sense to which he referred various other problems in the scientific world, and brought out many hidden truths from the word of (iod, which hail been hitherto obscure. "Egypt and the Holy Land, their geology and natural resources."' "Eden Lost and \\'on," "Ar- chaia," "The Mosaic Cosmogony," "Modern Science in liible Lands," "The Origin of the World, .According to Revelation and Science," form part of a series of writings of an apolo- getic character, which in his day. Sir William Dawson deemed necessary to combat certain views that were thrust upon the more or less observant and thinking world, regarding the origin of man as well as of other species living upon this plan- et. These have no doubt played a conspicuous part in estab- Sir John Willium Dd'nsini. — /Uni. 15 lisliing the present more or less evident cciiiilibriuiii wliicli ex- ists in tlie thinking world regarding the relations which exist between our beliefs in religion as well as in science. They are UNO distinct spheres, and our earnest endeavours ought to be directed towards the perfection of our knowledge in one di- rection as well as the other, in order to satisfy these two sides at least of our nature. * * * * Simplicity and humility were the leading characteristics of Sir William Dawson's religious life. He was a member in full coumumion of Stanley Street Presbyterian church, and was appointed Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in Canada on several occasions. He k)\e(l to worship with this quiet, retired congregation, where psalms and hymns wxre sung withotU instrumental accom- paniment. For many years, he led in the Sunday School, and subse(|uently conducted a most successful class for teachers, which was composed of the teachers of the various Protestant denominations of Montreal. With every movenumt that had for an object the moral uplifting and i)ettering of the condi- tions of life in the Canadian metropolis his name was invari- ably connected, and in season and out of season, he never lost an opportunity of giving pidilic expression to his keen sense of right ami justice. Here is an example of Sir William's writing showing his intense love for the 'right' and the 'truth', coupled with a ha- tred of the 'wrong' and injustice which needs supernal power to remedy. "Surely man is the spoiled child of the Creator, allowed by an over-indulgent father to destroy the valuable things which he cannot appreciate, or which his own misconduct has rendered it necessary for him to apply to purposes not intended by the Maker either of man or of the lower things which he misuses. Surely it is the same indulgent Father, who causes His sun to shine on the evil and the good, and who provides a Saviour for the unworthy and the disobedient, though He is also a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, and will not prevent the penalties of law whether physical or moral from falling on the reckless and impenitent. Tl.ere is surely a latent gospel in nature, which has always been proclaimed in it. |6 Hiot:;i-aplnciil SkiUlt. tlw"iuj;li ipfitii lij lu-fdliss cars, and uliiili icijiiircil llu' inliiiiti- kiiowKilgi' and love of Jisus to inliiprct it clearly to lis. No (loul)t this {,'os])cl like that of Christianity itself, is turned into gall and bitterness by modern pessimistic advocates of the mere struggh' for existence; but to rightly constituted minds, Ciirist's interpretation is better, as it is also more happy and hopeful." Mis was a well-spent life, ut)selfi;.h in all its aims and purjjoses, unsparing in his efforts to advance the interests of his fellow citizens and of humanity in general, exercising withal, a power and intluence for the moral good and welfare of all in a high degree. Tn the language of Socrates, regaril- ing a well-spent life, we can truly say of his : — " A'uWv fiift Tu uV/.iiv, Ka'i >] Ur'i>- /jLeyiikrj" "For noble is the prize and tlie hope is ffnut." As a writer, who sought to present in popular fcjrm the results of geological science to a larger audience than greeted liim on the college benches, he was eminently successful. Among the most conspicuous of his popular writings in which the relations which exist between science and revelation were usually made a portion of his theme, the foll.ming may be inentiutied ; "The Story of the Earth .ind Man," "Facts and Fancies in Modern Science," "Fossil Men and their iModern Representatives," "Modern Ideas of Evolution," "The Meet- ing Place of Geology and History." The many editions through which these various writings passed and the ready sale of his writings on both sides of the Atlantic, testified to their popularity. Throughout the English speaking world his name was a household word, and a letter of introduction was a passport in every country in Europe. For a period of twenty-two years I was acquainted with Sir William I^awson. Me h;i 1 just comi)leted twenty-two years at McGill, when I entered that University. Who could forget those precious evenings and hours spent in Sir William and Lady Dawson's company, both at home in the University hall, in the museum or geological laboratory. Those evenings especially were of a nature calculated to elevate and inspire. \N'ilh microscopes, specimens and books, with illustrations of natural history objects, and a thousand and one objects of Sir John Willuiin Diiu'MHi. — //////. \^ lifaiity and intercut in nature hi' soukIiI I" lilaiit tliuii.nlits in (liu niimls of liis ilisci|jks, aiul interest them, or assist in de- veloping; their faculties jf observation and comparison — those two great media of p.\act knowledge in science. In the elassrocm, as a teacher, Sir William had few equals. I'roni the time he entered tlie lecture room and punctually to the minute, he captivated the attention of his hearers by hiswonderfulflowof beautiful, descriptive language, coupled with till particularly happy faculty of graphically and accu- ratelj- representing upon the blackboard in colored chalk, the various stiucturcs and illustrations in natural history, wheth- er in botany, geology, zuohjgy. or pakeontology. It is eui- rently ri' ported that there are not less than ten persons now employed in the university, doing tliC work which fell to the lot of Sir William Dawson, during his temire of otTice in the university from 1855-1894. Besides his duties as principal and vice-chancellor of the university, member of the corporation, as well as chairman of the faculty of arts, he filled the chairs of chemistry, botany, zoology and geology, hicluding mineralogy, ethnology and pakeontology for many years, including both the ordinary course of lectures and the honour or advanced courses. One of Sir William's strong points was the conciliatory nature of his arguments. He was always the broad-minded and many-sided man. He could see a thing in its all around as- pect, and was ever calm and collected in what could scarcely even be called troublesome times. Like all strong-minded men, Sir William had his foes, but withal, he always manifested a tlignity of spirit, and unswerv- ing love of truth, together with a strong tendency not to break away too suddenly from the well-known and rather conservative view of things ; he went on in the even tenor of his way, usually carrying his point and leading his very oppon- ents step by slop to see the situation from his standpoint. With the interest of the University at heart, imbued with a powerful and ever increasing faith in the constitution of the university of which he held the helm, with a far-seeing eye, he went on, determined to carry his points however far reaching they might be. Life w'ith Sir WMlliam was a serious thing. It had with him l8 Hio^s^mpliicil Skc/d/. an earnestness and an increasing, ever active interest. He was Iiotl) orderly and systematic. His own library, work-room and nuiseuni were models of order and neatness, and every minute of his life seems to have been occupied. When we consider the task which he accomplished — the University which he leaves behind him- — the monnnienis which on every side on the college grounds are fruits of his skill and labour, tact and a hopeful nature, we appreciate the persuasive power which in- spired confidence and won for him and the university scores of friends. All the students under him loved him. The wealthy merchants of Montreal, who came within the sphere of his in- fluence (and he made it his business to instruct and inspire many of them in the ways of munificent tlonations to the Uni- versity), recognized in him one in whom they could with all true confidence rely for judgement on the question of higher and practical education. To those of us who have had the pleasure and privilege to listen to his marvelous flow of language, his lucid descrip- tions, as well as to those of us who have studied under him and who are now following up the science whicli he so dearly loved, and which he so generously imparted, with an inspira- tion and a zeal which but few masters possess, ma\' it be said that w-e have caught something of the fire and earnestness of his life and spirit. When we see the residts achieved during this useful life, to those who ask, we say : ".S7 quacris tnoniimentum, circumspicc." His career as a scientist brought him in contact with all the leading scientists of the day, especially in the branches of botany, geology and paleontology. Between Sir Wm, Logan and Sir Wni. Dawson a strong friendship was formed. These two kindred spirits joined in advancing the interests of geo- logical inquiry in Canada, and by their united writings, as well as by those of the late Elkanah Billings, — the paleontologist of the Geological Survey from 1856-1876 — helped to make the name of Canada w-ell-known in Europe, but more especially in the great centres of learning in London, Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Glas- gow With Sir Richard Owen he did much to make known the Sir John W'illuim Dinaon. — Ami. 19 early batrachians whicli iiilialiitcd wiir planet, and as meii- lioiied before, lie accompanied Sir C has. Lyell on two occa- sions when the latter \i>ited Canada. With Jones, the Woodwards and Hiiidc, with Marsh, Clay- pole andCopo, with Lesqucreux.W'ard.W illianis and Walcott, with ;ill the members of the Geological Survey staffs of Can- aila, the United States and P.ritain, he was well acquainted. In l'"rance and in other poruons of the CoiUinent, his was a household name, and a letter of introduction or card from him carried in the hands of any of his former pupils, or friends, would be a passport to all scientific circles. In 1893 a severe attack of pneumonia compelled S't Wil- liam Dawson to seek a warmer clime and he spent a portion of that year along the Florida coast. From this on he never regained his accustomed strength, and one day, while he was busily engaged in the Peter Redpath museum, he suddenly fell, a victim of a slight attack of apoplexy. Nevertheless, he gradually recovered, and whilst his bodily vigour was sen- sibly diminishing, his mental grasp of the various problems to be solved in Canadian geology was very marked. As late as Jidy, 1899, in the course of a conversation that the writer had with Sir William, regarding difficult points in Xova Scotian geology, as well as the result of recent investigations carried on by a conuiiittoe of the llritisli .Association for the .Advance- ment of Science, on the pleistocene fauna and flora of Canada (of which he was chairman), he evinced remarkable strength of mind and clearness of judgment. This interview was fol- lowed by a long letter, in which Sir William pointed out in a masterly manner the various phases of the questions at issue, showing th? full comi)rehension of the situation his mind still possessed. F'or the best part of two years Sir William was practically an invalid, and had to he carried or lifted from place to place, in all of which he evinced a calm resignation and faithful hope, which accompanied him and seemed to add even joy to those otherwise sad moments, until the final crisis and end came. "The gold of Ophir" and prol)lenis relating to it from recent discoveries made in South .Africa, were occupy- ing his attention only ten days ]ircvious to his demise. On March 19, 1847, Sir William, then Mr. Dawson, was united in marriage with Miss Margaret A. Y. Mercer, Edin- burgh, daughter of D. Mercer, Esq., of Edinburgh. There are five surviving children, the eldest of whom, Dr. George M. Dawson, C. M. G., V. R. S., &c., has followed the footsteps of his father, and given his life entirely to geological pursuits. He is now director of the Geological Survey of Canada, and is a Fellow or member of all the leading geological societies of Xorth America and Europe. Mr. William Bell Dawson, a civil engineer, has charge of the tidal surveys of Canada in connection with the department of marine at Ottawa. Dr. Ran- kine Dawson, the youngest of the three sons, is now prac- ticing medicine in London, England. The two daughters are Mrs. J. B. Harrington, wife of the professor of chemistry at McCiill University, who did much to assist Sir William in illustrating various fodsil organic remains which he de- scribed, and Mrs. Popi- T. Atkin of Rock Ferr)', near Birkenhead, England. Lady Dawson, who survives her husband and was his constant companion for upwards of fifty years, is entitled to great credit for the conspicuous part shi played in seconding Sir William's efforts to promote the interests of the university and of guiding that wholesome in- tluence of a true Christian home, which ever characterized their hospitable abode, to which many of us look back with pleasure. To perpetuate the memory of Sir William Dawson in McCiill '.'niversit) , to his already princely and munificent gifts, Sir William C MacDonald of Montreal, Canada, has endowed thi; "Dawson Chair", the proceeds of which dur- ing her life are destined to Lady Dawson. In March iSy", Sir William and Lady Dawson celebrat- ed their golden wedding at Montreal, on which occasion lluy were made the recipients of n'uiierous addresses of con- gratulation and messages from the graduates of the university and friends in general the world over, accompanied ' v souve- nirs of the interesting event, which took place at th' r home, J03 University street, Montreal. On that occasion, there was a reunion of all the members and friends of Sir William's household, so that in his declining years, but two years pre- vious to his departure from this life, he had the pleasure of witnessing an event which it is permitted only to a few in this world to celebrate. Sir John U'll/iufii IJ(ra.son.—Ami. n I learn from y;ood authority that Sir William Dawson has left behind liim a large amount of material, notes, papers, correspondence, and documents relative to the university, with a view of preparing a history of that institution of learning. It is to be hoped that before long these will fall into the hands of a competent person, who will prepare this work which the late lamented principal no doubt expected to complete. It would add one more tribute to the memory of him who did so much to build up that centre of excellen\ practical educa- tion. HIS WRITINGS. The following paragraph constituting a portion of the preface to his "Air breathers of the Coal-Period: a descriptive account of the remains of Land Animals found in the Coal formation of Nova Scotia with re- marks on their bearing on theories of the formation of Coal and of the Origin of Species." issued in 1863, gives the reader an excellent insiglit into Sir William Dawson's method of work as well as his motive in issuing such a work. "A certain moral obligation," he writes, "rests on the discoverer or possessor of new and valuable fos- sils to make them known as extensively as possible to the scientific world. This he may do either personally or by the aid of others more conversant with the class of objects in (|uestion. I have generally prefered the latter course for all objects not included in my own special lines of investigation; and in the case of the subjects of the present brochure have presented them, as discovered, to the investigation of naturalists specially engaged in the study of such remains. • * ♦ Hence the present publication, in which I give a summary of all that I have been able to ascertain of the land animals of the Coal Period in Nova Scotia and endeavour to make my collection of their fossil remains the common property of all geologists and naturalists and thereby discharging the obligations under which I am laid by having had these precious relics placed by Providence in my hands " "On Eosoon." Possibly none of Sir William Dawson's writings brought him into greater prominence than those on Eozoon Cana- 2i IUoi;;ni/yed. A flood of light upon and a decided impetus in the search after the earliest forms of organisms which inhabited our planet has followed these discussions. Whether or not we believe in the organic origin of Eozoon Cana- dense. of E. Bavaricum, or of E. Bohcmicum, as firmly as the subject of this sketch, in this nuicli we must agree, namely that Sir William Dawson has presented a strong case for his species and his minute and careful descriptions bear ilie stamp of close study of a large and iniporlant series of speeiniens. The fact that men like Carpenter, Dana, Murie, Logan, Hunt. Zittel. for a long time accepted Sir Wil- liam's views is evident proof of his influence as a writer. It is to be hoped that there will be no cessation in the interest taken in ascertaining what are tlie "relics of prim;eval life," what the conditions in which they lived and what their relations lo organisms we know well, whose organic origin is not ijuestioncd. lit! Fossil Plants. Sir William Dawson's memory will ever be cherished in the field of paheobotanical research as one of its pio- neers who did much to make the oldest floras of the world known to his day and generation both from a scientific and from a popular standpoint. He was no mean botanist and in his treatment of pal.'eozoic or primary as well as of later Mesozoic or secondary floras he displayed a wide knowledge not only of the floras of those epochs previously described from both continents, but also of their relations to each other and of their successors in the Tertiary and even later Quaternary floras in Canada, which he made known. His "Geological History of Plants ' is an excellent wurk of refer- ence; 80 also are his studies on "Palieo/.oic Ciymnospernis" and lis numerous papers on Canadian Mesozoic and Tertiary floras of Rritisli Columbia and the North West Territories.

J3 for the present as well as plants for the future and carries out a well- ordered and systematic theory to a practical issue. Sir William has done much to promote education in Canada. First, in Nova Scotia, his native province, he laboured very successfully and laid the founda- tion of the system now in vogue. In New Brunswick he did not a little to place the university (King's College of that period) on a satis- factory basis. Then in Montreal at McGill he had just sufficient opposition to introduce his masterly and long sighted principles into effect to stimu- late him to greater activity. Ke lived to see that centre of education rise to an eminence in the world. But. his earnest and best en- deavours were to make men, to educate them and lead them into paths of usefulness and with a view of enjoying to a full extent all the composite powers of one's being, including the physical, mental and moral as well as spiritual. On Science and Religion. Sir William was a devoutly religious man. His private as well as his public life both bore testimcny to his inward faith. He sought to apply the scientific method in the inter- pretation of many otherwise obscure passages of Holy Writ and by his numerous writings on this subject certainly drew attention to many points of world-wide interest and his interpretations were, as a rule, simple, natural and effective. He saw in the great book of Nature a Divine Hand. In Holy Writhe accepted the Divine inscription and with the faith of a child uttered its great truths in a simple manner These writings of his were very popular, some of his books covering eleven editions. On page 285 of "Recent discussions of the first chiipter of Genesis," Sir William makes what may be cor.siitered an apology for writing upon this theme. "The i)resent writer is not a theologian, or a divine" he writes, "but simply a naturalist, whose specialties have lain in some de- "partments of paheontology, and who has studied the Hebrew .Sacred "writings partly as a means of knowing something of Semitic language "and literature, and partly because of their practical connection with "Christianity." His conception of the relative values to be attached to researches in cosmogony, the philosophy of geology, or in studies regarding the origin and migration as well as succession of the various orders of plants and animals which iiih.ibitud this gUilie, is well illustrated in the following paragraph on page 234 of the work just cited above. "It would be a "strange phenomenon in the iiiicllectual life of our time that some of 24 Hioi:;niphUiil SkiUli. "our ablest men should be found contending earnestly as to the mean- "ing and validity of a document so old as the proem to Genesis, were it "not tiiat, as Mr. Gladstone has so well put the matter, this constitutes "the opening section of a book in which is conveyed special knowledge "to meet 'the special need everywhere so palpable in the state and "history of our race.' !n face of this special need, it is true that ques- "tions of cosmogony, or of the origin of the lower animals, become small "and unimportant, yet these bulk more largely in our estimation when "we find them to be subsidiary in even a small measure to the greater "ijuestions that relate to the early history and destiny of man.'' On Microsauria. The researches carried on by Sir William Dawson in fossil tree trunks in the famous Joggins Shore section in Nova Scotia and his writings thereon have gained for him also world- wide fame and credit. The patience and perseverance, so eminently characteristic of the man. is displayed in this painstaking task. No amount of trouble was taken to arrive at as complete a knowledge of the "Air-breathers of Nova Scotia'' as he could by dint of hammering at these old fossil tree trunks where the reptiles of the period, insects and various other land creatures had lodged while in a decaying or decayed condition. Some of Sir William's best and most lasting work is in this respect and he has done much to make these formerly unknown animals of the Carboniferous period well-known to all naturalists A/a„„ lis and Handbooks. True to the instincts of a teacher, of a master, Sir William wrote manuals for students. His first text book was one devoted to Scientific Agriculture for schools in Nova Scotia. That fertile province even to-day needs to put into practice the principles enunciated in his most recent treatise on this subject as taught in the Normal and Model Schools at Montreal and in the Province of Quebec generally. His Manual of Zoology for Canadian students is indispensibic to all working Naturalists. Forms found living on the land and in the waters (salt and fresh) of Canada, or in a fossilized and petrified condition in the strata of the Earth's Crust in Canada are therein described and recorded, together with general views of the classification of the Animal Kingdom. His manuals on geology for the use of students and his famous "Acadian Geology" form the most complete treatises we possess, giving an abstract of Canadian geological nomenclature and classification.
