562 Obituary. 



cannot give an opinion on the specimen figured in them by 

 Mr. Cumberland ; but there is a figure of Cyathocrinites 

 tuberculatus in a work on fossils, by Dr. Goldfuss, to which 

 I am unable to refer more particularly ; and the author of 

 Crinoidea, to whom my specimen was sent a short time before 

 his death, says, " I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your 

 instructive specimen of cyathocrinite." 



As I have, I trust, removed all doubt respecting the genus 

 of Mr. Conway's specimen, I beg to assure him that a desire 

 to check the progress of error has alone induced me to contro- 

 vert his statement; and that, were I wishful to lay claim to 

 the discovery of the genus E'ncrinus in mountain limestone, it 

 would be founded on specimens that have a much greater 

 claim to it than the one in question. — I am, Sir, yours, &c. 

 — William Gilbert son. Preston, Lancashire, Sept. 21. 1833. 



P. S. The sketch (Jig. 74.) of the superior portion of a 

 column, with the pelvis and scapulae attached, and perfectly 

 free from the matrix, will show, better than any description, 

 that Mr. Conway is in error in supposing his column to be 

 covered with extraneous matter ; and there can be no doubt 

 that the columnar joints described by R. B., in p. 475., belong 

 to Cyathocrinites quinquangularis, and not to Mr. Conway's 

 specimen. — William Gilbertson.

Art. II. Obituary. 



Died, of cholera,* in the afternoon of August 24. 1833, 

 Adrian Hardy Haworth, Esq., author of Lepidoptera Britan- 

 nica, various works in botany, and other contributions to the 

 promotion of natural history ; to the cultivation of which 

 Mr. Haworth had, through his whole life, devoted himself. 

 As we are led to expect that a biographical memoir of Mr. Ha- 

 worth will be published in the Gentleman's Magazine, we con- 

 fine ourselves to registering the fact of his death, and to the 

 indication of this clew to the particulars of his biography. In 

 the Gardener's Magazine, the Number for October, 1833, 

 (vol. ix.) p. 635 to 640., are some notices which show the 

 intensity of Mr. Haworth's passion for botany. — J. D.
