In 1846, Professor Agassiz crossed the ocean on a scientific excursion to the United States, and soon determined to remain here. He accepted, about the beginning of 1848, the chair of zoology and geology at Harvard. He explored the natural history of the United States at-different times and gave an impulse to the study of nature in this country. In 1865 he conducted an expedi tion to Brazil, and explored the lower Ama zon and its tributaries. In 1868 he was made non-resident professor of natural his tory at Cornell University. In December, 1871, he accompanied the Hassler expedi tion, under Professor Pierce, to the South Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He died at Cambridge, Massachusetts, December 14, 1873.

Among other of the important works of Professor Agassiz may be mentioned the fol lowing: Outlines of Comparative Physi ology, Journey to Brazil, and Contri butions to the Natural History of the United States. It is said of Professor Agassiz.
