Abstract
WE regret to record the death of Dr. J. H. Breasted, the well-known Egyptologist, founder and director of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, which took place on December 2, in the Medical Center Hospital, New York, at the age of seventy years. Dr. Breasted, who had returned to the United States from Italy only a few days previously, was thought to be suffering from an attack of the tropical malaria to which he had been subject for some years ; but his illness proved to be due to hæmolytic streptococci, and terminated fatally.
