PROCEEDINGS OF IMEMORIAL MEETING. 201 



districts of Wyoming- and the National Park, riding a mule, or some- 

 times on foot, carrying his instruments, measuring elevations, keep- 

 ing a constant meteorological record and making out the reports, in- 

 volved a great amount of very arduous labor and exposure; but, like 

 everything else he did, it was done thoroughly and well, and received 

 honorable mention in Capt. Jcmes"' official report. 



Here again he found time and a good opportunity to continue his 

 favorite pursuit in gathering insects, and discovered some species 

 new to science. 



On returning, he commenced his studies to prepare for eiitering 

 Harvard College the next year; reciting twice a week to Professor 

 Young in Latin and Greek; but this he was compelled to give up 

 entirely and forever on account of failing health. 



After taking a severe cold, he had, on the 30th of December, the 

 first attack of those hemorrhages from the lungs, which continued at 

 intervals to the time of his death, eight years. Their frequent re- 

 currence became alarming, and required constant care, yet during 

 this trying winter, with his usual cheerful and courageous spirit, he 

 employed himself in arranging his large Colorado and Yellowstone 

 collections. 



When the weary winter months brightened into spring his father 

 accompanied him to Colorado. After visiting Manitou Springs and 

 other places, it was decided to leave him with friends and a 3'ounger 

 brother, at Valmout. Here he spent four months, and then with 

 renewed strength went to Empire City, where he met his mother 

 and Dr. and Mrs. Parry. Six weeks were spent camping in a desert- 

 ed cabin, enjoying the society of Dr. and Mr^. Engelmann, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Ballord and others, when he removed to Canon City and there 

 spent the winter of 1874-5, in collecting fossils for the Academy, 

 and insects for his own collection. 



In April he returned home for a six weeks visit, after which he 

 accompanied Dr. Parry to Utah, where the summer was passed at 

 Spring Lake. In the fall he proceeded with Dr. Parry to California, 

 where he was visited in December by his father, with whom he 

 returned home in very feeble health. 



In all the different regions he had thus explored, he had gathered 

 over 25,000 specimens of insects, embracing an immense collection 

 of different known species, some of which were very rare, besides a 

 considerable number of new species, several of which have been 

 named in his honor, in recognition of his scientific attainments in
