1884. 71 Trans. N. Y, Ac. Sci. 



Finance Committee — T. B. Coddington, Philip Schuyler, 

 Thomas Egleston. 



The President then made remarks upon the condition of the 

 Academy, its library, etc. 



He then presented an appeal, received from a committee headed by 

 Prof Alpheus Hyatt, of Boston, in favor of the erection of a 

 monument to Barrande, as a testimony to the remarkable palceon- 

 tological work accomplished by him, while the nominal secretary and 

 intimate friend of the late Count de Chambord. He was a favorite of 

 fortune above most scientific men, distinguished for his industry and 

 thoroughness, and has already erected a splendid monument to him- 

 self in his published works. He has given us a library of palaeozoic 

 life, and he deserved everything said in his praise for his perseverance, 

 industry, and even genius, and was entitled to any further memorial 

 which scientific men should see fit to raise. Still, it was true that 

 many other able men, like Guyot, without such advantages, have done 

 a vast amount of useful work which often remains unpublished. It 

 was unfortunate that no memorial was possible for such a man as 

 Guyot, though the best monument would be the publication of his 

 great map of the ancient Swiss glaciers and the accompanying descrip- 

 tion of his labors in that field.
