10 The American Geologist. January, i899 
His classification of living fishes, reptiles and amphibians 
would alone have given Cope an enviable reputation; but he 
studied recent forms only for the light they could throw on 
those of the past. His knowledge of extinct and living forms 
was probably greater than that of any other scientist of the 
century, and it rendered him a peer of Huxley and Owen in 
the paleontological field. 
Professor Cope's work is more generally appreciated 
abroad than it is in America. Although he has been highly 
honored by some of the leading scientific men, he has not re- 
ceived the recognition here that his genius deserves. It is 
safe to predict that future scientists will see the full significance 
of his wonderful discoveries and generalizations, and that he 
will be justly ranked among the great biologists of the nine- 
teenth century.
