Abstract
WE reprint from the American journal Science (January 6) the following article on Dr. Hayden, whose death we lately announced:—Prof. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., who died in Philadelphia on the morning of December 22, was born in Westfield, Mass., September 7, 1829. Early in life he went to Ohio. In 1850 he was graduated from Oberlin College, and soon afterward read medicine at Albany, N.Y., receiving his degree from the Albany Medical College in 1853. He did not begin the practice of medicine, but in the spring of the year of his graduation was sent by Prof. James Hall of Albany, with Mr. F. B. Meek, to visit the Bad Lands of White River, to make collections of the Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils of that region. This was the beginning of his explorations of the West, which continued with little interruption for more than thirty years.
