MEMOIR OF JOHN B. HATCHER* 

 BY W. B. SCOTT 



A full account of Mr Hatcher's varied and eventful life would be a 

 fascinating story of adventure, of daring and unconquerable energy, of 

 self-sacrificing devotion to duty, and of single-minded love of science. 

 This story can never be adequately written, for only the hero could have 

 done that; what he might have made of it is indicated by the a Narra- 

 tive " of his expeditions to Patagonia. In reviewing this work for Science, 

 Doctor Dall has said : 



"At times wrapped in gloomy fogs or swept by tempests of incredible violence ; 

 fronting the towering Atlantic surges with unshaken cliffs and serrate talus, look- 

 ing out to shifting bars of sand, the terror of the navigator ; a vast cemetery for 

 ghostly herds, upon the like of which alive no man has ever looked ; it is a strange, 

 silent, bitter, lonely land. 



" How our author went out into it, what he met, and how he fared are told in 

 modest yet most interesting fashion in this stately quarto. His story is so inter- 

 esting and the unpretentious courage of the narrator so evident, the spirit of the 

 land and its mysterious fascination so fully expressed, that few will close the book 

 without a regret that it can not reach a wider audience. It is really too good to be 

 reserved for the readers of quartos. 



" The volume is so full of scientific meat that it is difficult to make a satisfactory 

 abstract and impossible to condense it within the limits of such a review as this. 

 There is something for every taste. The life of bird and beast; the phases and 

 contrasts of vegetation ; the life of the Tehuelche Indians and the waifs who have 

 cast civilization aside like a garment at the call of the wild; the topography and 

 geology; and mingled with it all a flavor of real North American character, to which 

 something in each reader's soul will leap with sympathy and admiration." 



* This memoir was not read on account of the absence of the author, but is inserted here in its 

 proper place.
