ferred. For this, and for other and minor reasons, it was finally 
decided to place only one name under each window. 
By this plan, there remained 47 names to be chosen. The 
choices were made in three different ways, as follows: 
I. Those names were taken which received one or more votes 
for a place on the frieze, but not enough for election to that 
place. These names, of which there are sixteen, are marked 
with an asterisk in the list below (Table II). 
2. The five large windows of the central pavilion of the build- 
ing, facing east, were set apart for American botanists, to be 
chosen by ballot.

3. Of the remaining twenty-four names, twenty-two were 
chosen by the writer, partly from the original list, having regard 
to the number of votes received on the first ballot, and partly 
from the names voted for as American botanists, in addition to 
the five receiving the largest number of votes on that ballot. In 
all these cases the choice was not arbitrary, but was iargely de- 
termined by expressions of opinion, in letters from voters, as to 
the relative merit of the various candidates. 
* Received one or more votes for a place on the frieze.
