folio volumes of fine plates and maps. In 1825 Freycinet was 

 made a member of the Academy of Sciences, and later became 

 one of the founders of the Paris Geographical Society. He died 

 at. his estate, Freycinet, on Aug. 18, 1882. 



Visit to Hazvaii. 



In Hawaii Freycinet visited Kailua on August 8th, sailed across 

 the channel to Lahaina, Maui, on the 15th, and remained there 

 until the 26th. At this station a series of pendulum observations 

 were made. He then proceeded to Honolulu, and sailed for 

 Port Jackson on August 30th. His stay in the islands was less 

 than three weeks. 



Gaiidicliaud. 



The botanist of Freycinet's expedition was Charles Gaudi- 

 chaud-Beaupre, generally known as Gaudichaud. He was born 

 at Angouleme, France? Sept. 4, 1789, and died at Paris, Jan. 16, 

 1854. He studied botany and pharmacy at Cognac and Paris. 

 In 1810 he was appointed as dispenser in the military marine, and 

 from 1811 to 1814 served at Antwerp. In 1817 he joined the 

 corvette ''Uranie'' as pharmaceutical botanist to the circumpolar 

 expedition commanded by De Freycinet. The wreck of the ves- 

 sel on the Falkland Islands, at the close of 1819, deprived him of 

 more than half the botanical collections he had made in various 

 parts of the world. In 1830-33 he visited Chile, Peru, and Bra- 

 zil. In 1836-37 Gaudichaud was botanist of ''La Bonite" during 

 its circumnavigation of the globe, and returned to Hawaii, but the 

 only record of his collections consists of a few plates, with no 

 adequate notes. Besides accounts of his voyages, Gaudichaud 

 wrote various treatises upon plant morphology and organ- 

 ography. His Hawaiian botanical material was published in the 

 "Botanique dii Voyage de I'Uranie." 



A number of Hawaiian plants have been named in his honor ; 

 for example — Cassia Gaudichaudii, Flook. & Arn. ; Cheirodendron 

 Gaiidichaiidii, Seem.; Lobelia GaudieJiaudii, DC; Clermontia 

 Gaiidichaiidii, Hillebr. ; Scaevola GaudieJiaudii, Hook. & Arn.; 

 Exoearpus Gaudichaudii, A. DC. ; Pritehardia GaudieJiaudii, H. 

 Wendl. ; GaJinia GaudieJiaudii, Steud. 



Several Hawaiian plants have been named in honor of Frey- 

 cinet, for example — Santalum Freyeinetianum, Gray, and Frcy- 

 cinetia Arnotti, Gaud. 



The botanical labors of Gaudichaud, both in Hawaii and else- 

 where, were substantial and noteworthy in character, and added 

 greatly to the taxonomic knowledge of his times.
