254 WOMAN IN SCIENCE 



all the numerous subdivisions of these sciences, and they 

 teach them with success and eclat. 



They also occupy responsible scientific positions in vari- 

 ous state and federal institutions. Thus one woman has 

 been the principal of the Denver School of Mines, while 

 another has been the state entomologist for Missouri. 

 Women are also found doing important work in the Na- 

 tional Museum, in the Smithsonian Institution, and in the 

 Agricultural Department in Washington, as well as in the 

 various museums, botanical gardens and public laboratories 

 of the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 



Among those who have deserved well of science in the 

 United States by their investigations and writings are Olive 

 Thorne Miller and Florence Merriam in ornithology; Su- 

 sanna Phelps Gage, Dr. Ida H. Hyde, Mary H. Hinckley, 

 Cornelia M. Clapp, Edith J. and Agnes M. Claypole in 

 biology ; Rose S. Eigenman in icthyology ; Edith M. Patch, 

 Elizabeth W. Peckham, Emily A. Smith, Cora H. Clarke, 

 J. M. Arms Sheldon, Mary Treat, Mary E. Murfeldt, Annie 

 T. Slosson in entomology ; Elizabeth G. Britton and Clara 



E. Cummings in cryptogamic botany; Sarah A. Plummer 

 Lemmon, Katherine E. Golden, Alice Eastman and Almira 

 Lincoln Phelps in general botany ; Ada D. Davidson, Ella 



F. Boyd and Florence Bascom in geology. Besides these, 

 special mention should also be made of Dr. Julia W. Snow 

 for her work on the microscopical forms of fresh-water 

 algae ; Anna Botsf ord Comstock for her contributions to our 

 knowledge of microscopic insects; Katherine J. Bush for 

 her monographs on shallow and deep-water molusca ; Har- 

 riet Randolph and Fannie E. Langdon for their studies on 

 worms, and Katherine Foot for her papers on cellular 

 morphology. Particularly notable, too, is the work that 

 has been done on marine invertebrates by Mary J. Rathbun 

 in the United States National Museum and by Florence 

 Wambaugh Patterson in vegetable physiology and pathol- 

 ogy in the Department of Agriculture in Washington.
