REVUE BRYOLOGIQUE 
Mac Leay; those of Mr. Bastow in the Proc. Royal Soc. of 
 Tasmania for 1887. These were the two last papers published 
by Dr. Carrington. In the same year he was elected a Corres- 
ponding Member of the Linnean Society of N. S. Wales and 
of the Royal Society of Tasmania. On the resignation of the 
first President, M. John Whitehead, he was elected President 
of the Manchester Cryptogamic Society, which position he 
held till his death. Many years ago he was elected F. R. S.E., 
and he was at one time F.L. S. 
The following British Hepaticæ were either found or identi- 
fied as British by him : — Cesia crenulata (Gott.), sent to 
Dr. Gottsche as à new species. C. corallioides (N.), detected 
under the name of C. concinnata in Dr. Greville’s herbarium 
_ CG. crassifolia (Carr.), collected near Ben Lawers by the late 
Dr. A. O. Black. Marsupella sphacelata (Giesecke), collected 
by the late G. E. Hunt on Ben Mac Dhui and Loch Kandor, 
1868. M. Nevicencis (Carr.), collected on Ben Nevis by 
Mr. John Whitehead, July, 1875. Scapania Bartlingu 
(Hampe), first recorded as British from specimens collected 
_ on rocks near the Strid., Bolton Woods, Yorkshire, 1858. 
… Hygrobiella myriocarpa (Carr.) Spruce, discovered near Ben 
_ Venue, July, 1876. Riccia glaucescens Carr., discovered at 
= Barmouth, N. Wales. R. tumida Lindenb., collected by 
Mr. Joshua, near Monmouth, May, 1877. R. sorocarpa 
_Bischof, collected by B. M. Watkins on Great Doward Hill, 
_ near Ross. 
= One of our rarest and most beautiful hepaties was named 
in his honour by the late Prof. Balfour, and Herr J. B. Jack, 
in his monograph of the European Radulæ, named one ofthe 
rarest, Radula Carringtoni, after him. 
About twelve months ago his valuable collection was 
acquired for the Manchester Museum by the Owen’s College 
_ authorities, and under the care of Prof. F. E. Weiss it has 
been arranged and is now accessible to students. 
 T may conclude this inadequate memoir bÿ recording my 
conviction that had he enjoyed moderate health and more 
 leisure, the name of Benjamin Carrington would have ranked 
_ amongst the greatest of our cryptogamic botanists. What he 
has done, under circumstances the most adverse, has, 
however, been no mean addition to the scientific knowledge 
. of the century. W. H. PEaRsoN.
