" Perhaps we young fellows may knock about 

 rather faster than you like, wanting to do much

" We must twine in Cuscuta as we twine in 

 the rest of the book. For real accuracy we must 

 finally come to the terms I propose, entropic 

 and antitropic." 



This was written two years before Mrs. En- 

 gelmann died and Engelmann's health failed. A 

 journey was taken to Germany in 1883, and he 

 picked up again, was even able to work there; 

 but after more sickness he came back, was again 

 helped by the voyage over, and again did some 

 work, but increasing infirmities gradually less- 

 ened his powers until his death on February 4, 

 1884. 



A list of his botanical papers has been pub- 

 lished by Prof. C. S. Sargent in Coulter's Botan- 

 ical Gazette for May, 1884, who enumerates one 

 hundred and twelve entries, and also counts 

 thirty-eight scientific societies of which Dr. 

 Engelmann was a member.
