He became a member in 1872. Charles 8. Peirce was chosen a member in 1877. Most of his work has been done in the service of the coast survey. He has made some importaut investigations in meteorology, measurement of wave lengths of light, sensation of color, and conducted a series of pendulum experiments to determine the density of the earth. Ac. C. H. F. Peters, of Clinton, New York, made a survey of Mount Etna in 1843. He won his election to the academy in '76 by his work in astronomy. He led the government expedition to New Zealand iu '69 to observe the transit of Venus. His work has been largely observation* as to comets and the solar spots. In studying the sky for mapping the stars he discovered forty-seveu asteroids. Prof. Edward C. Pickering, the distinguished astronomer in charge of the observatory at Harvard, became a member of the academy in 1873. and in 1887 he wag honored by that body with the award of the Henry Draper medal for his work on astronomical physics. His study of the stars, by means of photography, hsa been carried on to an extent never before at tempted. Maj. John W. Powell, the geologist. who is well known in this citv as the director of the geological survev. was admitted to the academy in 1880. His worV in connection with American ethnology is an important contribution, not only to the history, but the proper study of the aboriginal tribes of the North American conti nent Raphael Pumpelly, of Newport. R. I., geolo gist. was made a member of the academy in 1872. He has madt; a geologic journey around the world, and has made numerous surveys and investigations of mining industries. He is tho author of the special report of the 10th censm on miuing industries, and is now connected with the geological survey as geologist of the archaeau division. Prof. Frederick W. Putman, anthropologist, is professor of American arcbieologv and eth nology in Harvard. He became a member of the academy in 1885. His acquaintance with the subject of American archaeology is proba bly unexcelled by that of any other stude nt m this country. Prof. Ira Remsen. of Johns Hopkins univer sity, Baltimore, the distinguished chemist, has been a member of the academy since 1882. His original researches in chemistry have attracted marked attention, and his services as an expert have been utilized by the United States govern ment and by city governments. Prof. Fairman Rogers, of Philadelphia, civil engineer, one of the original members of the academy, has rendered eftioent service to science as a teacher and writer. He was an engineer officer during the war. and under the auspices of the coast survey completed the survey of the Potomac river northward from Blackiston Island. Prof. William A. Rogers, who became a mem ber of the academy in 1885. had distinguished himself as an astronomer, having worked for many years at the Harvard university. Astrono mers are indebted to him for many improve ments in apparatus. Prof. Ogden N. Rood, who has since 18C3 j been a lecturer on physic* in Columbia college, has pursued special studies in mechanics, op- ( tics, acoustics, and electricity with valuable i results. He was elected to the academy in j 18C5. | Prof. Henrv A. Rowland, who has charge of j the physical laboratory at Johns Hopkins uui- | versity, has engaged extensively in original work, and under liis direction important re- ! starches have been carried on at Johns lloj>- | kins. He was elected a number of the academy : in 1881. Lewis M. Rutherford, of New York, one of j the original members, began life as a lawyer, but abandoned that profession and devoted j his leisure to science principally ill the direc- \ tion of astronomical photography and spectral j analysis. To his worl; is chiefly due the per- i fection of the photographic telescope, which has made the great work of star charting by photography possible. Charles A. Nchott. of this city, a civil en gineer. distinguished for his researches in physics, was made a liiembt r of the academy in 1M72. He is connected with the United States coast survey.
