old friend of Agassi/, who freely speaks his impressions of the 

 book and its contents in the words, k> Ce livre n'est point une biog- 

 raphic scientifique,'' and he regrets to find so few letters of Agassiz 

 on scientific subjects. 



1887. Das ^Q jiihrige Jubilaum der ^fciszeit-Lehre, 1837, 15 

 Feb. 1887, von Dr. Otto Volger, in " Beilage zur Allgemeinen 

 Zeitung." MUnchen, pp. 697, 698, and pp. 715, 716. Folio, 

 Munich, 1887. The facts, although quite correct in the main, give 

 only the views on one side, in favour of Karl Schimper's claim ; and 

 the article is unjust in regard to Agassiz's part in the controversy. 



1887. // Natitralista Agassiz secondo le mentor ie scritte da sit a 

 M'oglie, by Paolo Lioy, in " Nuova Antologia.'' Terza serie, Vol. 

 VIII., pp. 240-258. Roma, Italy, 16 Mazo, 1887. A remarkable

 Agassiz seems to pass before the eyes. 



1887. Souvenir de r inauguration du buste eleve a L. Agassiz 

 par la Societk des Belles-Lettres dans le Bdtiment Academique de

1 889. La premiere Academic de Neuch&tel. Souvenirs de 1 838- 

 1848, par Alphonse Petitpierre. I2mo. Neuchatel, 1889. This 

 contains several extremely interesting letters of Agassiz. The 

 author shows the great part taken by Agassiz in the founding of the 

 Academy, and its prosperity so long as he inhabited Neuchatel. 



1892. Agassiz at Penikese, by David S. Jordan, in "Popular 

 Science Monthly," Vol. XL., pp. 721-729. New York, April, 1892. 

 An interesting reminiscence of the school at Penikese Island in 

 1873, b>" one f tne pupils. 



Post-script mil. -Finally, Jean Jacques Antoine Ampere in his 

 book, Promenades en Aincrique (2 vols., 1852), speaks of his stay at 

 Agassiz's house in Cambridge ; and Auguste Laugel, some years
