In the case of Elliott, the choice was made on the double basis 
of nationality (American) and meritorious work. Strasburger 
has died since the votes were canvassed. His name was added 
to the list after consulting informally sith a number of botanists, 
who were unanimous in the opinion that he was entitled to the 
honor both by his scientific contributions and the stimulus which 
he gave to contemporary investigation. There remains one 
window space to be filled. 
THe VoTE FoR AMERICAN BOTANISTS 
The result of the vote for American botanists will be of in- 
terest at least to all botanists of the United States. Since early 
American botanists were all chiefly interested in systematic, the 
committee was confined to those of like interest. The twelve 
men composing this committee were asked to name the five 
American botanists most worthy, in their opinion, of a place on 
the building. The names of this committee, and the canvas of 
votes are given in Table III.
