THE MUSEUM. 



The original study of the genus Par- 

 tula particularly engaged his attention 

 during several years; and his careful 

 work and extensive writings on the 

 group have given him high rank as an 

 authority thereon. His beautiful col- 

 lection of Achatinellidfe was purchased 

 by the Bremem Museum some time 

 before his death. The last Concho- 

 logical work that Dr. Hartman under- 

 took was a revision of the Helicinida;. 

 He gathered much interesting mater- 

 ial but failing health prevented the 

 carrying out of his intentions. 



One of the best known publications 

 from the pen of Dr. Hartman was Con- 

 chologia Cestrica, treating of the Mol- 

 lusca of Chester Co., Pa. In its pre- 

 paration he was associated with the 

 late Dr. Ezra Michener of New Gar- 

 den Township, but Dr. Hartman did 

 the larger part of the work. It is il- 

 lustrated with 200 wood cut figures of 

 shells described in the work. This 

 book published in 1874 was formerly 

 used as a text book in many schools 

 in Chester and Delaware counties. 



He was also the author of the fol- 

 lowing papers:

 tidas. Amer. Jour. Conch, vi. 316,

In 1883 Dr. Hartman went abroad 

 visiting many of the leading museums. 



He was married to Mary Jane Kab- 

 el, a daughter of John Kabel of Jeffer- 

 son Co., W. Va., on Dec. 3, 1841. 

 Mrs. Hartman survives her husband, 

 as also do five children. 



(In July last we had the pleasure of 

 calling on Dr. and Mrs. Hartman, on- 

 ly about a month prior to his sudden 

 death. Although the Doctor was feel- 

 ing very miserable, as soon as I made 

 myself known he insisted on showing 

 me his entire beautiful collection, 

 which is arranged in over 100 large 

 draws. It covers to more or less ex- 

 tent all genera of shells, but one can 

 readilly see his favorites were the East 

 Indian Land Shells. All the speci- 

 mens are beautifully mounted on 

 cards, similar to most of those in the 

 Academy of Natural Science at Phila- 

 delphia. It was a treat greatly en- 

 joyed and long to be remembered. —
