interior of Liberia, with the view of directing settlement to the more healthy region.1-Three years of serious effort were given by Mr. Foulke to the promotion of the Arctic Expe- dition of 1860, under Dr. I. I. Hayes, and his labors in this behalf are perpetuated in the name-Port Foulke-given to the winter harbor of the explorers in North Greenland .- He was an ardent and serviceable member of the Academy of Natural Sciences. His discovery, in the summer 1858, in the green-sand formation at Haddonfield, N. J., of a gigantic fossil extinct reptile, marked his labors in that field.2 Asso- ciated with the Pennsylvania Historical Society, in 1842, he took an active interest in its work ; he was in 1850, with Hon. Jos. R. Ingersoll, Rev. Albert Barnes, Bishop Potter, and others, charged with the preparation of a series of historical papers, and his essay " On the Right Use of History," was published 1856 .- Prof. J. P. Lesley, chief of the present (Second) Geological Survey of Pennsylvania, speaks in high terms of his services in procuring the publication of the Report of the First Survey. He says : "Among the few men in the Commonwealth who knew either the character of the Report, or the actual value of the Survey, Mr. Foulke occu- pied the most prominent position, and it was he who finally succeeded in dragging the buried manuscript into notice and in so stimulating public opinion in its favor as to get an act passed for its publication, in 1851."3 He was one of the three earliest projectors of the Philadelphia Academy of
1 Commander Lynch, U. S. N., made his report of the partial completion of this survey, Sept. 5, 1853. See H. R. Doc. 1, 54 pp.

Music, and the fine proportions of that building are largely due to him. He desired, indeed, that it should be of yet greater size, "that the many might be attracted at reasonable rates." His hope was, by elevating the standard of popular amusements, dramatic, operatic, and musical, to aid in the purification of tastes and manners among the people at large. He thought also that to lay the foundation of such a school for complete education in music, as should be included by the ultimate scheme, " would enable us hereafter to command the best musical talent of the world, and also to provide for the cultivation of such talent among ourselves." Prof. J. P. Lesley read before the American Philosophical Society, Nov. 6, 1868, a Memoir of Mr. Foulke, which is found in Volume X. of its proceedings, and which was prepared at its instance. William Parker Foulke's connection with this body was of long duration, and he was a member of its Council at the time of his death, which took place on June 18, 1865.
