Erlangen, and of the Botanical Association of the province 

 of Brandenburg, in Berlin. He was likewise a member of 

 the Grand Ducal Saxon Society of Mineralogy, Geology, 

 and Palaeontology in Jena ; of the Association of Natural- 

 ists in Bremen ; of the Eoyal Botanical Society of Eatisbon ; 

 of the Society for Natural Sciences in Cherbourg. He 

 was an honorary member of the Association of Naturalists 

 of the Bavarian Palatinate ; and of the Philomathic Society 

 of Strassburg. His government honoured him witli the 

 medal for Art and Science. Since 1866 he has been a 

 member of the Imperial German Academy Leopoldino 

 Carolina of Natural Philosophers. 



In 1874 he was appointed Keeper of the Archives, and 

 devoted the last years of his life, when he was less able to 

 undertake botanical excursions, to the investigation of the 

 more ancient parts of the history of the princely house of 

 Schwarzburg, and it has been said of him that, " the "forty- 

 seven contributions to the knowledge and history of Schwarz- 

 burg, which he published in the ' Sonderhausen Government 

 Journal,' conducted by himself, are a fair proof of his 

 restless activity, and are of lasting value." 



The mere mention of the titles of his botanical treatises, 

 which amount to about 100, would occupy all our time, so 

 I can only indicate a few —

Hohnstein, 1838.
