 Underwood and Stratford: 



Professor Underwood served the Academy as Vice-President and in other official 

 relations, and was at the time of his death a member of the Council as delegate 

 from the Torrey Botanical Club, an affiliated society. He was deeply interested in 

 the work of the Academy, and his contributions were greatly valued and esteemed 

 by his associates. He was beloved by the members of the Council, and his death 

 is regarded not only as a great loss to botanical science, but as a personal bereave- 

 ment. 



It is resolved that this memorial be spread upon the minutes and be communi- 

 cated to his family. 



N. L. Britton, Chairman, 



J. F. Kemp, 



H. H. RusBY.
