P. Barnard, the distinguished educator, kuown best perhaps as president of Columbia college, New York, was one of the original incorporaiors of the academy. He is distinguished both as a teacher and a writer on ducational topics, and physicist has en- gaged in important scientific researches. Phe venerable Col. William H. C. Bartlett, | one of the original members, after serving ‘in thet field as an engineer officer, spent many | useful years as a professor at West Point, and | for his work while there, both as a teacher, as | an author and as an original investigator re- | ceaved honors from several universities and | scientitic bodies, Prof. Alexander Graham Bell. of this city, who became a member of the body in 1883, is probably best known popularly as the inventor | of the telephone, but he has carried on m | abstruse investigations in ph which have | gained him an eminent place among scientific j men. Much of his time of late years has been given to investigations relatin, and Reredity, as instanced in the cases of fami lies an¢ communities among whom many dea! mutes have appeared, Dr. John Billings, U.8. another distin- | guished resident of Washington, became a | member of the academy in i883. Dr. Billings, | after active service during the war as a sur- | geon, became in 1864 connected with the sur- | geon-general’s office in this city, and since then bas won distinction by his work there.

P. Chandler, of New York, who for many years has held a professorship in the Columbia college, was chosen to a seat in the academy in 1874.

He served efficiently during the war, and since has had the direction of surveys, and has been a member of important board:. Prof. Geo. H. Cook, of New Brunswick, N. J., who was made a member in 1887, well known as a geologist, has done much service to science as a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti- tute, as state geologist of New Jersey, and as director of the New Jersey agricultural-experi- ment station. Prof. Josiah P. Cooke, who has been a mem- ber since 1872, has, as director of the famous chemical laboratory of Harvard, which was established through his efforts, conducted suc- ce&sfully some of the most important investiga- tions ever undertaken in this country. Prof. Edward D. Cope, of Philadelphia, was by reason of his eminence as a naturalist, made a member of the academy in 1872. Asacollege rofessor, as palaeontologist to the U.S. geo- logical survey, as member of the scientific staff of the Smithsonian Institution, and in other poritions Prof. Cope has pursued investigations in many fields with much energy and’ made many important contributions to scientific | literature.

Benjamin Apthorp Gould, the distinguished astronomer, of Cambridge, was an original member of the academy. He ix also a member of the Royal astronomical society of London, and of the French, Russian, Prussian and Aus- trian academies of sciences, Prof. Arnold Hague, of the geological survey, owes his election to the academy of science to his extensive and valuable work on geolo; His writings on this sabject have given him a deserved reputation in the scientitic world. He has been government geologist for Guatemala and China. He was clected to the Academy of Science four 7ears age. Prof. Asaph Hall, of the uational observa- tory at Washington, has been a member of the Academy of Science since 1875 and for the ast six years has been home secretary. He as long enjoyed an international reputation as an astronomer. He has been connected with all the important astronomical expedi- tions sent out by the United States. In 1877 he discovered the moons of Mars. The Loyal Astronomical Society of London awarded him a gold medal for his discoveries. Prof. James Hail, of Albany, won a member- ship of the Academy of Science by his work as a paleontologist. In'1837 he was state geologist for the fourth district of New York, and i: years later, still retaining that title, he was } laced in charge of paleontological work. In jater years he extended his work into broader fields, contributing to science some valuable work’ in the Rocky mountain regions and in Canada. He was one of the original members | of the Academy of Science. Eugene W. Hilgard, professor of agricultural chemistry and botany at the university of Culi- fornia, was iy chemist of the Smithson- ian laboratory and professor of chemistry at His exten- sive work in the fields of chemistry and geology secured his election to the National Academy of Science in 1872. Julius E. Hilgard, of Washington, was one of the original members of the Academy of Science. He isa well-known mathametician and for many years was superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey.

He hes been a member of the acad- emy since 1866, Prof. Clarence King, of New York, the well known geologist, and first director of the gov- ernment geological survey, became a mem- ber of the academy in 1876, In 1863 he crossed the continent from the Missouri river to California on horseback. He joined the geological survey of California and since then has done distinguished service to science. It was due to his personal efforts that the govera- ment surveys were consdlidated into the geo- logical survey. Prof, Samuel P.

He was assistant at the Harvard observatory, and then held the chair of mathematics at the U. S. naval academy, and is director of the Alleghany observatory. His scientific papers have been numerous and valuable. To his researches is largely due the progress made in recent years in physical as- tronomy. For a more délicate measurement of the heat than could be made by any existing instrument he invented the bolometer. He was chosen secretary of the Smithsonian in 1887. In 1884 Prof. Joseph Leidy, of Philadelphia, was chosen a member of the academy on ac- count of his distinguished services to science asa naturalist.
