Excerpt from Biographical Memoirs, Vol. 8 In accordance with a rule of the National Academy of Sciences, it is the duty of the President, upon the death of a member, to select some one to prepare a biographical memoir of the deceased. Such memoirs have been collected in permanent form from time to time for the use of the Academy and for distribution among reference libraries in this country and in Europe. Each biography is supplemented by a list of the scientific publica tions of the deceased member, and is accompanied by a likeness and a facsimile of his signature, except for the omission of a bibliography in the memoir of John H. C. Co¿in, Henry Morton, a list of whose published works forms a part of the Morton Memorial Volume issued by the Stevens Institute of Technology, and that of Miers Fisher Longstreth, whose work was recorded by others.
