. The Bashford Dean memorial volume : archaic fishes. Fishes; Sharks; Fishes, Fossil. 22 Bashford Dean Memorial Volume the other hand, was practically a lifelong interest, and from 1906 to his death in 1928 absorbed the greater part of his energies. Both his own inclinations and the force of circumstances led him to make this unique transition from zoology to the science of arms and armor, and in the opinion of the present writer even his great accomplishments in zoology were far outweighed by his contributions in the latter field. He himself felt that while his unfinished work in ichthyology could be carried on by his students and successors, the most pressing matters were first for him to build up the collections and exhibits of armor and secondly to secure and record the 'Vanishing data" regarding the provenience of every piece in the collection. At the time of his death several of his important works were still unpublished, namely the "Catalogue of European Daggers," the "Catalogue of European Court Swords and Hunting Swords," and the very extensive "Bibliography of Arms and Armor" in collaboration with S. V. Grancsay. All but the last of these works have since been published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is also gratifying to state that, on the side of zoology, his great series of plates illustrat- ing the embryology of the primitive sharks will be published as a Memorial Volume, by The American Museum of Book plate drawn by C. W. Sherborn of the British Museum (Natural History).
