 especial delight. The series representing the smaller mammals of the Roan 

 region he had already presented to the Smithsonian Institution. His min-

 herbarium it is hoped will find a place in one of our large museums where it 

 will be of use to many workers.

 i8th, 1902. A wife and family of children survive him. A. M. S.
