The above list of papers published by Professor Wetherby, though 

 not complete, gives some idea of the versatility of his mind and his 

 great capacity for work. His last years were spent in a careful 

 study of the mosses and grasses of the Roan Mt. region, which work, 

 had he lived to complete it, would have been a valuable contribution 

 to the botany of North Carolina. He made a fine collection of the 

 smaller mammals peculiar to the Roan Mt. region, which he pre- 

 sented to the Smithsonian Institution. His large and valuable col- 

 lection of minerals he presented to the Cincinnati University. His 

 collections of plants, of fossils, of land and fresh-water shells, are 

 very valuable, as they contain many unique specimens and all the 



types of the species described by him.
