BANGS, MUSEUM CURATOR AND FAMOUS ORNITHOLOGIST, DIES

Outram Bangs '84, curator of birds in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and one of the world's most distinguished ornithologists, died yesterday morning at his home in Wareham at the age of 69, following a paralytic stroke suffered on September 6. Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock in Christ's Church, Cambridge.

Bangs became curator of mammals at Harvard in 1900, and in 1918 curator of both birds and mammals, dropping the latter field six years later to devote his entire attention to his studies in ornithology.
