BIOGRAPHY.

The ohicial biography OF an eminent
American naturalist. Spencer Fuller

pany). has been written after a long
and unavoidable delay by DR.. william
Healey Dale. Undertaken first by
Prof Baird's daughter and then by his
successor in the Smithsonian Institu-
tion. Prof. George Brown Goode. the
work was twice interrupted by death.
Baird's merits as a naturalist have
been somewhat obscured by the i'm
portant services he was able to render
science in the Government position he
held, first as assistant to Prof. Henry
and afterward as his successor in the
secretaryship Of the Smithsonian and
as the organizer of the Fish Commits
sion. His life was uneventful save
for Incidents Of scholastic and scien-
tific interest, but ne exerted marked
influence In the Governments under
taking scientific work. II IL natural
that his biographer should lay stress
on this side of his career For his
early life. previous to his connection
with the Smithsonian, the biographer
has been able to collect a wide corre-
spondence with all the great natural
lists, including Audubon and the elder
Agassiz. through which may be formed
