NO. O DECAPOD AND OTHER CRUSTACEA— SCH MITT 3 



In looking over the material brought back, one cannot help being 

 imbued with an enthusiastic appreciation of the President as a man 

 of broad biological interests and a generous patron of science. 

 Throughout the cruise he took an active part and a live interest in 

 all our collecting.
