tain Phillip P. King, R.N. has sent to Mr. Heward a talented 

 drawing of it and the surrounding scenery, sketched by him- 

 self, (which we are permitted to have lithographed for the 

 frontispiece to the present volume of our Journal,) accom- 

 panied by the following note : — 



" Sketch of the late Allan Cunningham's monument, with 

 the simple inscription, 



ALLAN CUNNINGHAM, 



BOTANIST, 



Died, June, 1840. 



" It is composed of sandstone, and situated on an island of 

 a pond, densely surrounded by weeping willows, in a very 

 much frequented spot in the Botanic Garden, at Sydney. 

 The clump over the garden-seat is of bamboo, and at the dis- 

 tance is a point of Port Jackson; the point on the left 

 being a part of the Government demesne. There could 

 not have been found a more appropriate spot for the memorial 

 of our friend. 



"Phillip P. King." 



March 19th, 1846.
