In all about thirty-tvv^o papers appear in the Transactions or Proceed- 

 ings in addition to his current comments upon the climatic peculiarities as 

 compared with that of former years. In addition, he w^as a constant con- 

 tributor to various botanical journals. His last paper was perhaps not 

 ■completed as he desired. Concerning it he wrote only three days before 

 his death, "My botanical paper not ready yet; — soon." 



Dr. Ejigelmann was a true type of scientific man. He labored solely 

 to advance the boundary of knowledge, and without any reference to the 

 pecuniary value of the results reached. Sometimes his knowledge was of 

 immense financial value, as when his advice was sought by the agents of 

 the French Government regarding the use of native American grapes as 

 grafting-stock for French vineyards. But this was not the motive which 

 prompted his work; had it been so, it could not have been done so 

 thoroughly and well. I need not say that his aim was to do his part in the 

 solution of the great problems which interest us all, and that his reward 

 was the noble joy which attends the discovery of truth. 



His fame is not an aftair of newspapers and of to-day. The plants he 

 introduced to his brother botanists will come forth each year, many of 

 them bearing the names he gave them, and will introduce him in turn to 

 each succeeding generation of men. He sleeps well ; and his beloved 

 oaks, standing like sentries around his new-made grave, join in solemn 

 chanting and give gentle voicing to the sorrow which fills all our 

 hearts. 



The resolution of Mr. Todd was ordered to be entered upon 

 the minutes. 



Dr. G. J. Engelmann presented two charts of mean daily tem- 

 perature at Chiswick and Greenwich, and called attention to the 

 irregularities in the curves, showing that even in that more uni- 

 form climate it would take many years of additional observation 

 to obtain uniformity.
