material sacrifice. His income was expended in paying the numerous 
collectors and workmen in his employ. In his rooms the draughts- 
men and lithographers worked under his immediate superintendence 
and received their payment from his hand. It is estimated that he 
expended 100,000 gulden, or nearly £10,000 on this great work.

There remain the Gasteropoda, Echinodermata, Bryozoa, and Corals, 
the greater part of the text and plates for which are already nearly 
complete. This will probably increase the number of species by 
1500, so that we may conclude that Barrande’s labours will have 
resulted in making known at least 5,000 species of organic remains 
from the Silurian Rocks of Bohemia. The largest number probably 
ever obtained from any single area in any part of the world before. 
Barrande’s valuable library, together with all the types of his 
work, and his entire collection of fossils found in Bohemia or pro- 
cured from other countries for comparison, are now by his will to 
find a resting-place in the Natural-History Museum of Prague, for 
which it will be necessary to provide a new building. 
Prof. Dr. W. Waagen will undertake the publication of the 
Gasteropoda and Echinodermata; Dr. Otomar Novak, the Corals and 
Bryozoa. The general work of superintendence is to be entrusted toa 
Committee composed of Prof. Dr. J. Krejéi, Prof. Dr. A. Fritsch, 
Prof. Dr. Ritter Koristka, Dr. J. Stanisl, Prachensky, and Dr. Emil 
Bellot. 
All plates already finished, together with text and manuscript, are 
handed over to the above Trustees, together with 10,000 florins, to 
defray the expenses of publication of the remaining volumes. 
So fitly and nobly ends the life of one, who, without ostentation 
or display, devoted half a century to the task of working out the 
Silurian geology and paleontology of his adopted country, Bohemia, 
purely for the love of science and intent on achieving a great work 
and doing it thoroughly and well. 
Of Barrande it may indeed with truth be said that “ Whatsoever 
his hand found to do, he did it with his might.”
