sandstones of the Connecticut valley. His collection is preserved in the Hitchcock Ichnological Museum of Amherst College, and a description of it was published in 1858 in his report to the Massachusetts legislature on the ichnology of New England. The footprints were regarded as those of reptiles, amphibia and birds (?). In 1857 he undertook, with the aid of his two sons, the geological survey of Vermont, which was completed in 1861. As a writer on geological science, Hitchcock was largely concerned in determining the connexion between it and religion, and employing its results to explain and support what he regarded as the truths of revelation. He died at Amherst, on the 27th of February 1864. His son, CHARLES HENRY HITCHCOCK (1836- ), did good service in geology, in Vermont, New Hampshire (1868-1878), and other parts of America, and became professor of geology at Dartmouth in 1868. The following are Edward Hitchcock's principal works: _Geology of the Connecticut Valley_ (1823); _Catalogue of Plants growing without cultivation in the vicinity of Amherst_ (1829); _Reports on the Geology of Massachusetts_ (1833-1841); _Elementary Geology_ (1840; ed. 2, 1841; and later ed. with C. H. Hitchcock, 1862); _Fossil Footmarks in the United States_ (1848); _Outline of the Geology of the Globe and of the United States in particular_ (1853); _Illustrations of Surface Geology_ (1856); _Ichnology of New England_ (1858); _The Religion of Geology and its Connected Sciences_ (1851; new ed., 1869); _Reminiscences of Amherst College_ (1863); and various papers in the _American Journal of Science_, and other periodicals. HITCHCOCK, GEORGE (1850- ), American artist, was born at Providence, Rhode Island, in 1850. He graduated from Brown University in 1872 and from the law school of Harvard University in 1874; then turned his attention to art and became a pupil of Boulanger and Lefebvre in Paris. He attracted notice in the Salon of 1885 with his "Tulip Growing," a Dutch garden which he painted in Holland. He had for years a studio at Egmond, in the Netherlands. He became a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, France; a member of the Vienna Academy of Arts, the Munich Secession Society, and other art bodies; and is represented in the Dresden gallery; the imperial collection, Vienna; the Chicago Art Institute, and the Detroit Museum of Fine Arts.
