Miss Alice Eastwood, of San Francisco, a distinguished botanist, 

 who suffered so severely in the San Francisco fire, wrote to me as 

 follows: — 



" Dr. Behr was born August 18, 1818, at Coethen, in the German duchy 

 of Anhalt, and died March ti, 1904, in San Francisco. 



" In 1844 he went to Australia by the advice of Alexander von Humboldt 

 and Karl Ritter. He lived among the natives, studying their language and 

 habits, and published results in Virchow's Archives, LinncBa and Nature. He 

 also studied insects and plants and described new species, which w^re pub- 

 lished in Germany. He was a devoted friend of Ferdinand von Mueller, and 

 because of the friendship von Mueller sent him plants from Australia, which 

 were thus introduced into California. He returned to Germany in 1847 (from 

 Australia)."
