OBITUARY 
Charles* Pubb 3kofomgon, Jr. 
HffifjEtitfllS it has occurred in the wise and unknowable provi- 
dence of God that Charles Budd Robinson, M. A., Ph. D., for 
many years a botanist of the Bureau of Science of the Govern- 
ment of the Philippine Islands, should, in the peaceful pursuit 
of his profession and in his zealous endeavors to augment the 
sum of human knowledge, be struck down by the hands of ignor- 
ant and savage natives in the Island of Amboina, Dutch East 
Indies, and there done to death on the fifth day of December, 
nineteen hundred and thirteen; and 
Charles Budd Robinson was held in the highest 
esteem by every member of this institution alike for his scientific 
ability and lovable personality; therefore, be it 
3SkslQUjefc, That we, the members of the staff of the Bureau of 
Science, desire to express hereby our very deep sorrow at the loss 
which we so keenly feel; a loss which not only bereaves us per- 
sonally, but leaves the cause of science the poorer and his aged 
parents the more desolate because of his well-known filial attach- 
ment and care; and be it further 
jS&ESJolbctl, That we extend to Doctor Robinson’s father, mother, 
and sister our most sincere sympathy; and be it further 
3&e£Qlbtb, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Doctor 
Robinson’s parents, a copy be engrossed and hung in the library 
of the Bureau of Science, copies be sent to the Bureau of Civil 
Service and to the archives of the Bureau of Science for file, 
and that they be published in the forthcoming number of The 
Philippine Journal of Science as evidence of the love and appre- 
ciation which we have for him and the reverence in which we 
shall ever hold his memory. 
For the staff of the Bureau of Science.
