“ So valuable was Huon Pine in Hobart Town, that in 1827 
the Commandant was informed by Government, that it was 
more profitable to send supplies of that wood up, than to 
build vessels. Good oars were made at the settlement; tre- 
nails were also shipped in great quantities." 25 
I am much gratified in being able to attach the name of 
the late excellent Governor of Tasmania to so remarkable 
a tree, and one, too, quite peculiar to that island, and be- 
longing to a most interesting Natural Order. The services 
of Sir John Franklin as an officer, a traveller, and man of 
Science, are too well known and appreciated to require com- 
ment here; but to his zealous cooperation in all the objects 
of the Antarctic Expedition, to the kindness shown by him, 
Lady Franklin, and their family, towards the officers of the 
Erebus and Terror, and to the unwearied zeal and unexampled 
liberality of both those enlightened individuals in forwarding 
the cause of science in that colony, it behoves me in duty 
and in gratitude to record my obligations. | ee. c
