Rev. Augustus Barthelmy Lam
glois was born in the little town of
Chavaney, in the department of
the Rhone, France, on April "a,
1882, and received his early edu-
cation at Montbrison, in Loire.
Coming to America in 1856. he f.
nished his Studies at the College
of Mount st. Mary of the West
Cincinnati, and was ordained by
Archbishop Purcell. on June IL,
1857. About six months after or
dination he was stationed a Pointe
ala Hache, in Plsquemine parish.
For thirty years, until 1887, he la
bored a Pointe-s-la- Hache, when
he was transferred to 81. Martin
vile. e
His botanical studies common
ced in early life. At the age of
16 he made an herbayium, consis-
ting d between 1900 and 1900
plants, which he gathered in the
neighborhood of his college, at
Montbrison. On his appointment
to Pointe-a-la-H ache he renewed
his studies, and sent his first COL
lection, numbering some 300 Lou
isisns plants, to France to be nam
ed. To this consignment he se-
ceived no reply, and, being sta

ty years his spare time was entire
ly devoted to. his books. He be-
gan the study anew in 1877, and
from that period up to the present
he has been steadily adding to his
store of Louisiana plants.
Since 1877 he has collected
about 10000 specimens, about half
of which have found their way in
TO the herbariums of specialists in
various parts of the United States
and Europe. His correspondence
had become very extensive and
many calls were made on him for
forms. No letter from the stu
dent was cast into the waste PAPER

Mrs. Foster made special appeal
