1921] James Jacob Wolfe 113 



Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts (1901-1906), 

 and at Beaufort, North Carolina, in the laboratory of the U. S. Bu- 

 reau of Fisheries (1909-1916). There he collected and prepared the 

 material for his excellent papers on the biology and reproduction 

 of the seaweeds that brought him his greatest reputation. His work 

 on the algae Nemalion (Annals of Botany 18: 607. 1904) and Padina 

 (see this Journal 34: 78. 1918) would alone place him as an invest! 

 gator of fine abilities. Recently he had been engaged in investiga- 

 tions on the plankton of Chesapeake Bay for the U. S. Fish Com- 

 mission, a considerable part of this work having been completed at 

 the time of his death. In recognition of the importance of this work 

 the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society invited him to give an address 

 on the subject at its meeting of January 13, 1920. (For abstract 

 see this Journal 36: 3, 1920.) 



"Wolfe was elected to membership in the North Carolina Acad- 

 emy of Science at its 6th Annual Meeting in 1907 and was an active 

 and enthusiastic member during the whole of its subsequent record. 

 So far as I recall, he never missed a meeting and he nearly always 

 presented a paper — and a good one. As a member of the Executive 

 Committee at various times, as Vice-President (1908-1909) and as 

 President (1914-1915) he gave freely of his time and judgment. In 

 his death the Society has sustained a heavy and irremediable loss. 

 We shall miss him as a friend and as a strong support."
