THE MUSEUM 



Primary Factors of Organic Evolution" 



(1896). 



He is a formidable antagonist and 

 his strong pen was wielded relentlessly 

 until the victory was won. 



Honors have come to him. The 

 Bigsby gold medal was conferred on 

 him by the Geological Survey of Great 

 Britain in 1879, and his name is on 

 the rolls of many of the scientific so- 

 cieties in this country and abro&d, in- 

 cluding our own National Academy of 

 Sciences, to which he was admitted in 

 1872. 



He joined the American Association 

 in 1868, and in 1875 was advanced to 

 the grade of fellow. The section on 

 biology made him its presiding officer 

 in 1884, and in the following year he 

 addressed the society on "Catagene- 

 sis." His name has frequently been 

 urged upon the association for its 

 highest office, but it was not until last 

 year that the well merited honor came 

 to him.
