It has since received large legislative appropria- 

 tions, and under the direction of Dr. Samuel G. 

 Dixon, Commissioner of Public Health, has 

 grown into a great sanatorium, holding 850 

 patients. 



" I am a member of the usual number of 

 learned societies, and in religious faith an Epis- 

 copalian, and politically a Republican, when 

 my conscience will endure it. 



" I have quite a number of plants loaded with 

 my name: first there is, from Lower California 

 a genus Rothrockia which belongs to the family 

 Asclepiadaceae. Then come Artemisia Roth- 

 rockia, Halenia Rothrockii, Nama Rothrockii, 

 Pentstemon Rothrockii, Stachys Rothrockii, 

 Toivnsendia Rothrockii. There are several 

 others which I have lost sight of, scattered 

 through various publications, and which I have 

 now no means of tracing since I sold my library 

 and herbarium to the Field Museum in Chi- 

 cago. 



Joseph Trimble Rothrock."
