24 Memorial of George Broivn Goode. 



well-defined tlialassic faunal regions. Another projected work for which 

 extensive materials were collected w^as upon the Fishes of America, in 

 which Doctor Theodore Gill was to have cooperated. 



Goode was always encouraged b}^ his supreme faith in the reward of 

 honest intellectual labor, and it is pleasant to recall now that he took the 

 keenest satisfaction in the completion and publication of the Oceanic 

 Ichthyolog}^ which revived in him all his old natural-history spirit. He 

 regarded it as his chief life work, and once observed to his fellow-writer, 

 Tarleton Bean, "It will be our monument," little foreseeing that so soon 

 after its publication he would be gone and that his friends and admirers 

 all over the world would share this very thought in receiving the fine 

 monograph a few weeks after his sudden and unexpected death. 



Our friend has gone to his fathers. As a public-spirited naturalist be 

 leaves us the tender memory and the noble example, which helps us 

 and will help many coming men into the higher conception of duty ia 

 the service and promotion of the truth. We can not forget his smile nor 

 his arm j^assing through the arm of his friend. Thinking little of him- 

 self and highl}^ of others, faithful to his duties and loyal to his friends, 

 full of good cheer and hopefulness — it is hard for us to close up the ranks 

 and march on without him.
