• Notes

  WINTHROP DAVENPORT FOSTER Winthrop D. Foster died in Washington, D. C., on October 6, 1918, as a result of pneumonia complications following an attack of influenza. He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Christian Kershaw of Windsor, Ontario, and three children. Mr. Foster was born in Jersey City, N. J., December 28, 1880, and was the son of a Congregational clergyman, Dr. Addison P. Foster. The family was from New England, and Mr. Foster attended the Roxbury Latin and Newton High Schools, graduating from the latter in 1900. He later attended Williams College, from which he received the degree of B.A. in 1904, and the degree of M.A. in 1912. He also studied forestry at the University of Michigan and veterinary medicine at George Washington University. In 1904-05 he was instructor in biology in Assumption High School at Assumption, Illinois, and from 1908 to 1910 was clerk-translator in the Census Bureau. In 1910 Mr. Foster became Junior Zoologist in the Zoological Division of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and was connected with that division up to the time of his death. He was one of the first members of the Helminthological Society of Washington and was also a member of the Biological Society of Washington. Mr. Foster's work in parasitology was done principally on the parasites of swine and along the lines of critical tests of the efficacy of anthelmintics, though he published a number of notes on other lines.
