Mr. Morong was a most diligent and painstaking worker. He 
systematically came to his post at eight o’clock in the morning 
and remained until two in the afternoon. After lunch he never 
failed to take his hour’s sées¢a, a Paraguayan habit which he thor- . 
oughly enjoyed, and was back again at work from four until eight 
or often later. Personally he was a delightful man, always cheer- 
ful, usually gay, overflowing with interesting, instructive and amus- 
ing remarks, generous to a fault and constantly mindful of the feel- 
ings and wishes of others. His death has lost to American Science 
one of its most earnest, critical and enthusiastic devotees, and to 
those who have been favored with his companionship a dear friend, 
a wise adviser, a beloved associate. 
A Revision of the Genus Lechea. 
By N. L. BrRItTTon, 
The genus Lechea was named by Kalm in 1751* in honor ot j 
John Leche, a Swedish botanist. Linnaeus took it up in 17 538 
in the first edition of his “ Species Plantarum,” and there indicated 
two species, Z. minor and L. major. His Lechea major proved to 
be a Helianthemum, thus leaving L. minor as the type of the : 
genus. Michaux added several species in 1803. Spach dis- 
cussed the order Cistacez in 1836, and in the same year ap. aa
