gess, with notes and two new plates by Mr. J. H. Emerton, as

In the April number of the Narurauist I find my name ap- 
pears as the botanist of the Wheeler expedition of 1873, to the 
exclusion of my good friend Prof. John Wolf. This has been by 
accidental omission, I am sure, on the part of the writer of the 
article in question. I did have a certain connection with the 
botanical collection, but the bulk of the work done in that de- 
partment was by Prof. Wolf, whose conscientious labor cannot be 
too highly commended.— J. T. Rorurocx. 
Tur friends of the late Professor Agassiz, the friends of educa- 
tion, propose to raise a memorial to him, by placing upon a strong 
and enduring basis the work to which he devoted his life, the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, which is at once a collection of 
natural objects, rivalling the most celebrated collections of the Old 
World, and a school open to all the teachers of the land. 
It is proposed that the teachers and pupils of the whole country 
take part in this memorial, and that on the birthday of Agassiz, 
the 28th day of May, 1874, they shall each contribute something, 
however small, to the Teachers’ and Pupils’ Memorial Fund, in 
honor of Louis Agassiz; the fund to be kept separate, and the 
income to be applied to the expenses of the Museum. 
All communications and remittances for the ‘Teachers’ and 
- Pupils’ Fund” of the “ Agassiz Memorial,” may be sent to the 
Treasurer, James M. Barnard, Room 4, No. 13 Exchange Street, 
Boston. 
Will not every subscriber to the Naruratist contribute his or 
her mite to this great object?
