parts of Honshu, Hokkaido and Kyushu. In 1901 he made a flight 

 visit to Vancouver, Canada, to study the algal flora of thither side 

 of the Pacific. In 1903 he made a collecting trip of three months 

 in Shimushu, the northernmost islet of the Kurile. He was an expert 

 swimmer and did not hesitate to plunge into water whenever it is 

 necessary. This gave him exceptional advantage in collecting rarer 

 specimens of marine algae and in observing them in their various 

 habitats from an ecological point of view. 



In 1911 he made a tour in Europe visiting continental cottntries, 

 Great Britain and Ireland, though he spent most of his time in 

 Norway where he was aquainted with N. WiLLE, H. H. Gran and 

 other noted algologists. During this tour be was able to examine 

 authentic specimens of marine algae in the herbaria of various institu- 

 .tions, and he could verify many doubtful species hitherto assigned to 

 Japanese waters. The result of these studies was published from time 

 to time in the Tokyo Botanical Magazine, Journal of the College of 

 Science and other periodicals. Among them a monograph of the GenuS 

 Alaria is perhaps the most valuable one. 



In later years be turned his attention to the life cycle of some 

 marine algae and two papers on this subject were already published 

 in 1919. It is to be deeply regretted that "A Monograph of Coral- 

 linae", the preparation of which was his most favorite pursuit, has 

 been left unaccomplished. 



Dr. Yendo was a many-sided man with wide knowledge of the 

 general subject. Such problems as the herring fishery in Hokkaido, 

 the relation of the temperature of sea water to the climate of north- 

 eastern Japan etc. attracted his serious attention and he published 

 many reports and papers on them. 



He was also the author of several books and articles dealing with 

 current topics of social life. The "literary gift of expounding his 

 critical spirit with a keen sense of humour made him popular in the 

 reading circle. 



He may also be remembered by those who knew his outdoor 

 life, as an all-round. athIete*of high sportsmanship.
