Society’s catalogue, the abbreviated titles occupy about seven col- 
umns, and this list comes down only to 1873, at which period he was 
relieved of administrative and tutorial work at his own request. 
Since that time the titles are more numerous, and if we add to the 
roll of papers and books, the minor articles, often of a playful char- 
acter with which he was fond of lightening his cares, the catalogue 
would assume enormous proportions. 
Of course this is not an occasion on which these works can be 
examined. We must pass over without notice the long list of ed- 
ucational publications reaching from the first elements in 1836, to 
his last volume, also termed Elements of Botany, bearing the date 
of 1887. We cannot even refer to his expositions of Darwinism, 
nor to his reviews. Nor is this the place to speak at any length of the 
Flora to which he gave all his work. We can only say that it is 
well on its way towards completion. 
The question will not be kept back, How did he find time for such 
an incredible amount of scientific work? How with all this work, 
enough for three men, could he give time to the duties of the sec- 
retaryships and presidencies to which he was called ? 
This will be found no easy question to answer. But it can be 
partly met by remembering that he worked very rapidly and at the 
same time carefully, seldom having to do the same work twice. 
Then, too, he had an amazing command of written words, so that 
alike in scientific composition, in philosophical disquisition, and in 
critical reviews, he lost no time in searching for expressions. And 
lastly he made every minute count for some work or for some rec- 
reation. So that, with his nearly perfect health and buoyant spir- 
its, he made his days encroach far upon the night. 
Upon all with whom he came in contact he gave the impression 
of alertness and of reserve strength. But this strength was united 
with simplicity itself. 
His six journeys to Europe, his three visits to the Pacific coast, 
and his four rambles along the Alleglianies, were no interruptions 
to his work. He made them tributary to his health and to the ever- 
present Flora. 
We must now glance for. a moment at the material results of his 
work in Cambridge, so far as they are apparent in the department 
which was his own. The instruction and its appliances have so 
far developed that what he was able for many years to carry on 
single-handed is now delegated to a curator of the herbarium and
