the years 1830 and 1838, under the title of ' Illustrations of Orchir 

 daceous Plants.' 



His other published botanical works are : 1 . The first part, published 

 in 1818, of ' Strelitzia Depicta,' a work intended to comprise figures 

 of all the known species of that magnificent genus ; 2. * Microsco- 

 pical Observations on the Red Snow' brought from the Arctic Re- 

 gions by Capt. Ross, the globules contained in which, by some re- 

 garded as an Alga, he described in the 7th volume of the * Quarterly 

 Journal' of the Royal Institution as a species of Uredo ; 3. ' Some 

 Experiments on the Fungi which constitute the colouring matter of 

 the Red Snow,' published in the ' Philosophical Transactions' for 

 1 820 ; and 4. The Plates to the Botanical Appendix to Captain Parry's 

 first Voyage of Discovery, published in 1821. One of the last pro- 

 ductions of his pencil, illustrating the structure of a plant growing 

 at Kew which produces perfect seeds without any apparent action 

 of pollen, will appear in the forthcoming part of our Transactions. 



In the year 1816 he commenced lending the assistance of his 

 pencil to the late Sir Everard Home in the various anatomical and 

 physiological investigations in which that distinguished anatomist 

 was engaged ; and in the course of ten or twelve years furnished, in 

 illustration of his numerous papers in the ' Philosophical Transac- 

 tions,' upwards of 120 plates, which were afterwards reprinted with 

 Sir Everard's * Lectures on Comparative Anatomy.' These plates, 

 which form together the most extensive series of his published works, 

 embraced a great variety of important subjects, chiefly in microscopic 

 anatomy, and aiFord abundant evidence of his powers of observation 

 and skill in depicting the most difficult objects. 



It is this rare and previously almost unexampled union of the ob- 

 s.erver and the artist that has placed Mr. Bauer foremost in the first 

 rank of scientific draughtsmen. His paintings, as the more finished 

 of his productions may well be termed, are no less perfect as models 

 of artistip skill and effect, than as representations of natural objects. 

 Of all his predecessors, Ehret alone approaches him in these par- 

 ticulars ; among his contemporaries, none but his brother Ferdinand 

 can be regarded as his equal. 



Mr. Bauer became a Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1804, and 

 of the Royal Society in 1820. He died at his residence on Kew- 

 Green on the 11th of December last, in the 83rd year of his age ; 

 and was buried in the church-yard of that parish on the 1 6th of the 

 same month. [See also p. 77 of the present volume.] 



Sir Anthony Carlisle, Knt., F.R.S., 8^c., a distinguished surgeon 

 and physiologist, was born at Stillington, in the county of Durham, 

 on the 8th of February, 1769, and received his early professional 

 education partly at York and partly at Durham. He afterwards 

 came to London, entered himself as a student at the Hunterian 

 School under Cruickshank and Baillie, and became a resident pupil 

 to Watson, whom he succeeded as one of the Surgeons of the West- 

 minster Hospital in 1793. On the retirement of Sheldon, in 1808, 

 he became Professor of Anatomy to the Royal Academy, and re- 

 tained that office until 1824. He was also a member of the Council 

 and of the Court of Examiners of the Royal College of Surgeons, of
