Abstract
PROBABLY no individual has contributed more to the development of natural history museums throughout the world than Henry Augustus Ward, of Rochester, New York, who, even in his boyhood days, had acquired a roving disposition. At an early age he developed a keen interest in geology, and by dint of persistent hard work coupled with exceptional and unexpected opportunities he attained a position of eminence when he was comparatively young.
