 numerous medals of honour in recognition of her services to 

 science, and amongst them perhaps those most esteemed were 

 that of the Societe d'Acclimatation of France, and the gold 

 medal of the University of Moscow. There is something tangible 

 about a medal ; it can be shown to interested friends, and in- 

 cidents connected are recalled and related. Towards the close, 

 as a consequence of the special illness, there were times of de- 

 pression, when fears came that she was forgotten, and her life's 

 work had been of no avail. On one of these occasions the sight 

 of the collection of medals with their inscriptions served as a 

 distinct restorative to a more cheerful view of life. 



" There's a many will miss her ; she was a good woman," 

 said one of her working-men neighbours. Her kindness and 

 courtesy to those about and around her have bound her to them 

 in affectionate regard.
