to him the young enthusiasts whose ideals were as fresh as his 
own. 
The example of his life remains to keep alive unselfish ideals 
and nobility of character. 
The California Academy of Science has a permanent 
memorial of this remarkable man in his botanical papers which 
appeared in the two Bulletins of this institution. The herbarium 
also possesses many type of species described by him which were 
saved from the great fire. Since then he has sent to the new 
herbarium some valuable specimens containing duplicates of 
some of his types. 
Our sympathy goes to those friends and relatives who have 
lost one who is personally beloved. 
Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to friends 
and relatives, to the Smithsonian Institution, the Biological 
Society of Washington, the Washington Academy of Science, 
Notre Dame University and the Catholic University of America.
