interest to his classmates and is now, I believe, in the Musuem of Com-
parative Anatomy. He early commenced drawing, but with very little
regular instruction ; — he also, when ten or twelve years old, painted
on a panel with house paints a portrait of himself which was something
of a likeness, but deficient in proper tints ; the nearest approach he could
make to the color of his hair was — green. His facility in sketching in
after life was remarkable; he drew anatomical subjects with great accu-
racy and rapidity. His drawing upon the blackboard in illustrating his
lectures, was most effective. His diagrams for his lectures to the
undergraduates of Harvard College were nearly all drawn and colored
by his own hand."
As president of the Natural History Society he is thus
spoken of: "He presided with the gentleness and courtesy
so characteristic of him ; he was always ready with some fact
from his carefully arranged storehouse to confirm or disprove
statements made before the Society. He was patient of igno-
rant contradictions, sure of final approbation; never captious;
never annihilating his tyro antagonist, as he easily could, by
the weight of his scientific blows. His benign countenance
many a time has checked the rising excitement of hot discus-
sion." Alexander Agassiz has written of Wyman: "He
never took part in any controversy. Unless he could add
something of importance to the memoirs of his predecessors,
he never allowed himself to print his observations if they were
mere confirmations." Holmes adds, "Professor Wyman

would have been more famous if he had been less modest.
Whether it be true or not that the world knows not its great-
est men, it certainly knows very little of many of its best
men; nothing at all of its best women. * * * Professor
Wyman did a man's work with a woman's patience, meekness,
fidelity, and noiseless efficiency. * * * He was too good
a man for any creed to confiscate his virtues to its private
exchequer." The spirit which pervaded all his scientific work
is summed up in this aphorism, "No single experiment in
physiology is worth anything." As a teacher Wyman was
simple and unpretentious and clear; he rarely failed to con-
vince his hearers. D. Humphreys Storer said of him: "I
never knew a gentler, purer, nobler spirit. As a brother I
loved him, and I mourn him."
Upon the death of Jeffries Wyman, the Corporation of
Harvard University voted :
' That the President and Fellows desire to record their sense of the
great loss which the University has sustained in the death of Professor
Wyman, and to express their sympathy with the family and friends in
their sudden bereavement.
' They recall with affectionate respect and admiration the sagacity,
patience and rectitude which characterized all his scientific work, his
clearness, accuracy and conciseness as a writer and teacher, and the
industry and zeal with which he labored upon the two admirable collec-
tions which remain as monuments to his rare knowledge, method and
skill.
" They commend to the young men of the University this signal example
of a character, modest, tranquil, dignified and independent, and of a life
simple, contented and honored."
The following list of Wyman's writings has been compiled
from the Royal Society's list, with additions from F. W. Put-
nam and A. S. Packard :
