Director of the Botanical Garden at St. Petersburg, an honorary 
member. Dr. Britton, Dr. Porter and Dr. Morong were appointed 
a committee to draw resolutions expressing the sense of loss 
which the Club feels in the decease of this distinguished botanist. 
The committee has prepared the following memorial: 
In memory of Dr. Edouard von Regel, in whose recent death the club loses one 
of its most distinguished Honorary Members, we adopt the following minute: 
Dr. Regel is well-known as the author of numerous botanical works of great 
value, the first of which was published in 1843. Since that date he has contributed 
about a dozen works to the science, one of the most important being his monograph 
on Betulacez, published in Vol. 16 of the Prodromus of DeCandolle. For many 
years he has been the Director of the Botanical Garden at St. Petersburg, in which 
position he has contributed largely to the collection, determination and distribution of 
the plants of the Russian Empire. He is best known, perhaps, in connection with 
the northern Asiatic flora, in the arrangement and enumeration of which the latter 
years of his honored and useful life have been spent. 
His death, occurring so soon after that of his great colleague, Maximowicz, isa 
heavy affliction to our associates at St. Petersburg, leaving a void not easily filled. 
We desire to express our profound sympathy with them under their bereavement, as 
well as to testify our high appreciation of the services which Dr. Regel has rendered 
to the world at large.

The Club then adjourned until the second Tuesday evening in 
October. ,
