402 LEADING AMERICAN MEN OF SCIENCE 



also enlisted much of his attention, and his excursions into the 

 fields and woods were enlivened by a knowledge of the objects 

 he met with." "Anthropology," Doctor Gill continues, "natu- 

 rally secured a due proportion of his regards, and, indeed, his 

 catalogues truly embraced the outlines of a system of the science." 



Doctor Goode was, as already stated, always very greatly inter- 

 ested in bibliography. No work to him was ever tedious, if it 

 were possible to make it accurate. He had well under way the 

 catalogues of the writings of many American naturalists, among 

 others those of Doctor Gill and the present writer. Two of these 

 are already published under the Smithsonian Institution as Bulle- 

 tins of the United States National Museum, being numbers of a 

 series of "Bibliographies of American Naturalists." The first 

 contained the writings of Spencer Fullerton Baird (1883). An- 

 other is devoted to Charles Girard (1891), who was an associate 

 of Professor Baird, though for his later years resident in Paris. 

 A bibliography of the English ornithologist, Philip Lutley Sclater 

 (1896), has been issued since Doctor Goode's death. 



Doctor Gill tells us that "a gigantic work in the same line had 

 been projected by him and most of the material collected; it was 

 no less than a complete bibliography of Ichthyology, including 

 the names of all genera and species published as new. Whether 

 this can be completed by another hand remains to be seen. While 

 the work is a great desideratum, very few would be willing to 

 undertake it or even arrange the matter already collected for publi- 

 cation. In no way may Ichthyology, at least, more feel the loss 

 of Goode than in the loss of the complete bibliography." 



Doctor Goode was married on November 27, 1877, to Sarah 

 Lamson Ford Judd, daughter of Orange Judd, the well-known 

 publisher, and the founder of Orange Judd Hall at Wesleyan 

 University, in which Doctor Goode's career as a museum admin- 

 istrator began. The married life of Doctor and Mrs. Goode 

 was a very happy one; the wife and four children are still living. 



As to personal qualities of Doctor Goode, I cannot do better 

 than to quote the following words of two of his warmest friends. 

 Doctor S. P. Langley wrote: "I have never known a more perfectly
