Sierra Club Bulletin. 



NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE. 



In addition to longer articles suitable for the body of the magazine, the 

 editor would be glad to receive brief memoranda of all noteworthy trips or 

 explorations, together with brief comments and suggestions on any topics of 

 general interest to the Club. Descriptive or narrative articles, or notes 

 concerning the animals, birds, iish, forests, trails, geology, botany, etc., of 

 the mountains, will be acceptable. 



The office of the Sierra Club is Room 402 Mills Building, San Francisco, 

 where all Club members are welcome, and where all the maps, photographs, 

 and other records of the Club are kept. 



The Club would like to secure additional copies of those numbers of the 

 Sierra Club Bulletin which are noted on the back of the cover of this 

 number as being out of print, and we hope any member having extra copies 

 will send them to the Secretary. 



William Keith — Nov. 18, 1838 — Apr. 13, 1911. 

 There are few members of the Sierra Club whose death could 

 cause greater and more widespread grief than that of WilHam 

 Keith. He was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and died at his 

 home in Berkeley. The greater part of his life was spent in 

 California, and his paintings of the "California Alps," as he used 

 to call the Sierra, are masterpieces. We have lost a master 

 painter, but his wonderful work, which was the expression of 

 his best rare qualities, is still with us and in that sense he is 

 immortal. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to his widow. 

 Mr. Keith was a charter member of the Sierra Club. 



William Russell Dudley — 1849-1911. 

 The eminent botanist, William Russell Dudley, died at Stan- 

 ford University on June 4th. He was born in Guilford, Con- 

 necticut, was a member of the faculty of Cornell University for 

 sixteen years, and was connected with Stanford University since 

 1892. He was for many years a member of the Board of Direc- 

 tors of the Sierra Club, until failing health compelled him to 

 resign. He attended some of the Club Outings and many of our 

 members will recall his lovable personal quahties. He was very 

 active in advancing the cause of Forestry in this State and the 

 creation of the State Redwood Park was probably as much due 

 to his influence and effort as to that of any other one person. 

 We all feel his loss most keenly.
