Report of the Council for 1902: A genial spirit has passed away by the death of THOMAS WILSON, Curator of the Division of Prehistoric Archaeology in the United States National Museum. For many years a consul in France, it was only comparatively late in life that he became a professed archaeologist. Though the lack of early training was always apparent, his wide practical knowledge of French archaeology proved of great service in his studies of the stone implements of North America. Mr. Wilson was a most diligent worker. His more important publications were " The Swastika," Report U.S. Nat.

All those who have visited the great collections displayed in the building of the Smithsonian Institution will recall with pleasure the enthusiasm and friendliness of its Curator.
