France and elsewhere. Being designed wholly for purposes 
of study, and therefore of small dimensions, these specimens 
were little calculated to be remarked in a museum and 
draw attention to the resources offered to commerce and 
industry by the magnificent species of wood in our forests. 
Having been charged to prepare collections of Canadian 
woods for the Universal European Exposition, M. Brunet 
profited by observations made during the preceding exhibi- 
tion, and succeeded so well, that he obtained the medal of 
honour at Dublin in 1865, and again at Paris in 1867. 
These were the only two occasions on which he had been 
called upon to compete. Such results, in causing the 
resources of Canada to be appreciated in HKurope, show the 
high esteem in which he was held. It is hardly necessary 
to say that the collection for which he received the medal 
in 1867 was similar to the one which still excites the 
admiration of all those who visit the museum of Laval 
University. 
M. Brunet was honorably known in Kurope and the 
United States; a member of several learned societies, he 
counted among his friends men of the highest scientific 
attainments. He published several botanical articles of 
merit. They are as follows :— 
1. Notes upon the Plants collected in 1859, by L’Abbé 
Ferland, upon the Coasts of Labrador. 
2. Journey of André Michaux to Canada. (Translation 
by Dr. T. Sterry Hunt in Can. Nat. N.S., p. 325.) 
3. Enumeration of the Species of Plants of the Canadian 
Flora. 
4, Catalogue of Canadian Plants contained in the Herb- 
anium of Laval University.' 
5. History of the Picea found within the limits of Canada. 
6. Catalogue of the Ligneous Plants of Canada. 
7. Elements of Botany and Vegetable Physiology, with 
a small flora. 
1 Tt is to be regretted that M. Brunet was not able to continue 
this detailed catalogue, which has remained unfinished.
