SKETCH OF PROFESSOR C. F. HARTT. 235 



thus formed the most complete repository of South American geology 

 in the world. Among the collections of marine zoology those of the 

 corals, crustacea, and mollusks, were notably large and complete. But 

 one of the most interesting parts of the museum was its collection of 

 antiquities, which comprised many new and curious forms of pottery 

 and stone implements, and was also rich in human remains. 



A start had just been made toward publishing the reports of the 

 commission when the death of Prof. Hartt deprived it of its main sup- 

 port. But, though this will occasion some delay in the publication, it 

 is to be hoped that we shall soon have before us the entire results of 

 one of the grandest series of explorations ever carried on by an Ameri- 

 can in a foreign country. 



Prof. Hartt's published works are not very voluminous. He was so 

 confident of a longer life that he delayed too long, but still he was a 

 constant contributor to American scientific periodicals. In addition to 

 his large volume, "The Geology and Physical Geography of Brazil," 

 he has given us the following, among other very valuable reports : 



" Amazonian Drift" {American Journal of Science, vol. i., 1871, pp. 3). 



" Brazilian Rock-Inscriptions " {American Naturalist, vol. v., 1871, pp. 9 

 and figures). 



" The Ancient Indian Pottery of Maraj6, Brazil " {American Naturalist, 

 vol. v., 1871, pp. 13, many figures). 



" On the Tertiary Basin of the Marafion " {American Journal of Science, vol. 

 iv., 1872, pp. 6).
