William S. Sullivant. 5 
Mosses collected in Whipple’s Exploration. It consists of only 
a dozen pages of letter-press, but is illustrated by ten admirable 
plates of new species. 
The Jcones Muscorum, however, is Mr. Sullivant’s crowning 
, Mrs. 
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, to inh 
and honored name, and to cherish a noble memory. 
In personal appearance and carriage, no less than in all the 
traits of an unselfish and well-balanced character, Mr. Sullivant 
was a fine specimen of a man. He had excellent business 
talents, and was an exemplary citizen; he had a refined an 
was an accomplished draughtsman. But after 
ss are and he educated him to the work, with what 
excellent results the plates of the Icones and of his other works 
abun antly show. As an investigator he worked deliberately, 
slowly indeed and not continuously, but perseveringly. Having 
Chosen his particular department, he gave himself undeviatingl 
to its advancement. His works have laid such a and 
complete foundation for the study of bryology in this country, 
are of such recognized importance everywhere, that they 
must always be of classical authority ; in fact they are likely to 
remain for a long time unrivalled. Wherever Mosses are stud- 
led, his name will be honorably remembered ; in this country 
it should long be remembered with peculiar gratitude.
