of Agassiz, would be glad to aid in placing his Museum on a per- 
manent basis. The feeling has been so general and of such spon- 
taneous growth, that a memorial of this kind would be the only 
appropriate one for the present. We have not the least doubt but 
that the sum proposed will be at once obtained and we have heard | 
that about $70,000 were subscribed the day of the meeting. Let 
‘all who respected, the great naturalist, and who feel that science 
anid education have been advanced by his efforts in their behalf, 
give each according to his means, and let us hope that from the 
many offerings of grateful hearts the memorial fund will soon be 
far larger than the sum named. Well knowing the immense €x- 
pense of maintaining such a Museum, we trust that the Agassiz 
Memorial fund will not be allowed to stop at the compe z ely 
small amount proposed. 
In the reorganization of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 
made necessary by the decease of Professor Agassiz, the Trustees 
have wisely secured the separation of the curatorship from that of 
the Lawrence Professorship of Zoology and Geology, and abol- 
ished the office of Director. As now organized the two executive | 
officers of the museum are Mr. Atexanper Agassiz, Curator, 
and M. L. F. pr POURTALES, Keeper. Mr. Agassiz has also been 
elected by the Legislature to succeed his father as a trustee or 
; the museum.
