gathered and reviled them, acting as if they desired to lynch 
them. 
A man of great intellectual ability, broad training, and untiring 
energy, Doctor Robinson had already established his reputation 
as a painstaking and careful botanist. The long list of papers 
published between the years 1906 and 1914 gives but a vague 
idea of the actual amount of work involved in their preparation. 
His interest in botany was intense, and most of his other in- 
terests were subordinated to it. It would be difficult to find a 
man more thoroughly devoted to his work or who showed a 
keener interest in it. Day after day, early and late, he could 
be found at work, frequently working until far into the night. 
His entire botanical collections made in Amboina, comprising 
many thousands of specimens, are now at the Bureau of Science, 
and it is characteristic of the dead botanist and of his work 
that his notes were completely written up each day and that his 
material was carefully arranged. His progress report, written 
from day to day in Amboina and for the most part written late 
in the evening, comprises at least 115,000 words, and it is to be 
noted under date of November 30 that late in the evening, after 
having walked more than 25 miles, he was busily engaged in 
writing up his report for the day. 
Doctor Robinson was unmarried. He is survived by his aged 
parents anda sister. He was particularly devoted to his parents, 
and this devotion seemed to be his one great interest in life other 
than his beloved botany. It is the irony of fate that this upright, 
talented, trained, and energetic man should meet his end at the 
hands of a few superstitious and ignorant Malays, toward whom 
he had only the kindliest feelings. 
The appended bibliography will serve to give some idea of the 
amount of work accomplished by Doctor Robinson in the few 
years that he devoted to botany as a profession.
