Arthur Humes

[Dr. Andrew G. McArthur]

Dr. Arthur Humes died this past Saturday, October 16, 1999.  I attach
below two notices of his passing.

Dear colleagues,

It is with great sadness and a tremendous sense of loss that I report to
you that Arthur G. Humes died on Saturday, October 16, 1999.  I have very
little information at this time; apparently he died of a stroke. Although
his body has already been cremated, there are plans for a memorial service
being organized by Dr. Tom Duncan of Woods Hole (Marine Biological
Laboratory).  I do not yet know the date of the memorial service, but will
inform you via CRUST-L when I do.

As you all are aware, Arthur was a superb editor, a founding member of The
Crustacean Society, a first rate scientist, and above all a gentleman and
a warm and gracious person.  We will all miss him.

Jody Martin
President, The Crustacean Society

Arthur Grover Humes died of cardiac arrest on Saturday 16
October in Woods Hole, Massachusetts; he was 83.  Arthur will be
remembered to marine biologists as the first director of the
Boston University Marine Program at Woods Hole, to
carcinologists as that first editor of the Journal of Crustacean
Biology, and especially to copepologists as having described
more than 5% of the almost 12,000 species of copepods known
today.
