Abstract
Dr. Hubert Lyman Clark, formerly curator of echinoderms, more recently curator of marine invertebrates and associate professor of zoology, at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, died on July 31, at the age of seventy-seven. In more than one hundred papers he has left a vast contribution to the knowledge of the group he loved, echinoderms. His first publication was in 1896; his latest, half a century later, in 1946. He started near home with papers on the echinoderms of the Bermudas, the West Indies and the east coast of North America. But he was to range far afield, to write of the echinoderms of most parts of the world and to make those of a distant land, Australia, his peculiar province.
