The PresipENT then made remarks upon the condition of the 
Academy, its library, etc. 
He then presented an appeal, received from a committee headed by 
Prof. ALPHEUS HyYATT, of Boston, in favor of the erection of a 
monument to BARRANDE, as a testimony to the remarkable palzon- 
tological work accomplished by him, while the nominal secretary and 
intimate friend of the late Count de Chambord. He was a favorite of 
fortune above most scientific men, distinguished for his industry and 
thoroughness, and has already erected a splendid monument to him- 
self in his published works. He has given us a library of palzozoic 
life, and he deserved everything said in his praise for his perseverance, 
industry, and even genius, and was entitled to any further memorial 
which scientific men should see fit to raise. Still, it was true that 
many other able men, like GUYOT, without such advantages, have done 
a vast amount of useful work which often remains unpublished. It 
was unfortunate that no memorial was possible for such a man as 
GuYOT, though the best monument would be the publication of his 
great map of the ancient Swiss glaciers and the accompanying descrip- 
tion of his labors in that field.
