As an indication of the esteem in which Doctor Porter and his 

 work are held in the United States, the following preambles and 

 resolution were adopted at the meeting of the Biological Society of 

 Washington, October 20, 1928: 



Whereas, Dr. Carlos E. Porter founded, S- years ago, the valuable scien- 

 tific periodical known as the Revista Chilcna and has continued it through 

 all the years since, practically single-handed and unaided, with very great 

 expenditure of valuable time and very considerable personal financial loss ; 



And Whereas, He has, through this journal, made possible the prompt 

 publication of the results of the work of recognized South American scientific 

 men and of those endeavoring to achieve recognition by the publication of the 

 results of their studies in the field of science ; 



And Whereas, He has built up an extremely valuable and noteworthy 

 zoological library, particularly in the fields of entomology, carcinology, and 

 economic zoology, the best of its kind in his own country, and in doing so has 

 rendered inestimable service to science, not only in Chile but also in other 

 countries in South America ; 



And Whereas, He has fostered science and encouraged other workers 

 to the utmost of his ability, not only personally but through his teachings and 

 lectures ; 



Therefore Be It Resolved, That the Biological Society of Washington extends 

 to Carlos E. Porter its hearty commendation and recognition for the great 

 service he has rendered his native land and science in general in the furtherance 

 and perpetuation of scientific research and endeavor.
