He published essays on the natural history of America, particu- larly of New England, in the " Transactions " of the Royal society (1720-1735), and a work against the church of Rome.

DUDLEY, Thomas Underwood, P. E. bishop, b. in Richmond, Va., 26 Sept., 1837. He was gradu- ated at the University of Virginia in 1858, and soon afterward became a professor in that institu- tion. During the civil war he held a commission in the commissary department of the Confederate army.

DUDLEY, William Henry, physician, b. in Roscrea, Tipperary, Ireland, 7 Oct., 1811 ; d. in Brooklyn, N. Y., 9' Oct., 1886. He received a clas- sical education, and was graduated at the Royal college of surgeons, Dublin, in 1833. In 1834 he sailed for Jamaica, where he was elected a fellow of King's college of physicians and surgeons, and where he practised his profession until 1841, when he settled in Brooklyn, N. Y. In 1842 he received a diploma from the College of physicians and sur- geons of New York, and in 1851 was elected cura- tor of the New York medical college, holding the office for several years. He was one of the found- ers of the Long Island college hospital, the first of its kind in this country, with which institution he had been connected from its incorporation as a member of the council. He also acted as its treas- urer, its president, and as a member of the board of regents. In fact, but for his untiring labors, his counsel, and his generous pecuniary support, it is doubtful whether the college hospital could have been established or its permanence secured. In 1848 Dr. Dudley was elected a member of the New York academy of medicine. He was also a member of the Kings county medical and other societies.

DUDLEY, William Lofland, chemist, b. in Covington, Ky., 16 April, 1859. He followed a spe- cial course in chemistry and natural science at the University of Cincinnati, after which he was dem- onstrator of chemistry in 1879-'80, and professor of chemistry and toxicology from 1880 till 1886 in Miami medical college, Cincinnati. In 1886 he be- came professor of chemistry in Vanderbilt univer- sity, Nashville. Prof. Dudley was commissioner of the Cincinnati industrial exposition from 1883 till 1885, and a director of the Ohio mechanics' insti- tute from 1884 till 1886. He is a member of sev- eral scientific societies, and received the honorary degree of M. D. in 1885 from Miami medical col- lege. He has made a reputation through his suc- cess in producing iridium.' In conjunction with John Holland, of Cincinnati, he devised a process for obtaining this metal, and in consequence its ap- plication in the arts has been greatly extended. The electro-metallurgy of iridium has been princi- pally developed through his work. He has pub- lished scientific papers in various journals, aud wrote the article " Iridium " in " Mineral Resources of the United States, 1883-'4 " (Washington).

In 1873 he became instructor of botany at Cornell, and in 1884 assistant professor of cryptogamic bot- any, and also professor of botany in the Martha's Vineyard summer institute during its sessions in 1878-'9. Prof. Dudley has contributed articles to botanical journals and cyclopaedias, and has pub- lished " The Cayuga Elora, Part I. : A Catalogue of the Phsenogamia growing without Cultivation in the Cayuga Lake Basin " (Ithaca, 1886).

DUENAS, Francisco (du-ajm-yas), president of Salvador, b. about 1830. He was educated for the bar, and figured at an early age in the politics of his country, on the conservative side, but, on account of his constant opposition to the liberal government of the president, Gerardo Barrios, was obliged to emigrate to Guatemala. When, early in 1863, Gen. Rafael Carrera, president of Guate- mala, suspecting Barrios of favoring a re-establish- ment of the Central American union, with himself as president, declared war against Salvador, Dueiias joined the invading army. Although Carrera was defeated at Coatepeque, 25 Feb., he soon raised a new army, and, after defeating a Salvadorian army under Gen. Santiago Gonzalez at Santa Ana, 30 July, he besieged and on 26 Oct. occupied the capi- tal," San Salvador, deposed Gen. Barrios, aud in- stalled Duenas as provisional president. In 1865 Dueilas was elected constitutional president for the term extending from April, 1865, to 1869, and in the same year a revolution in favor of the exiled Barrios broke out, San Miguel and La Union de- claring in his favor, but his general, Cabaiias, was routed near La Union, 29 May, and at the same time the former, preparing to sail from Realejo to join
