OBITUARY. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Lomax {jiee Smithson) died at Torquay on 

 16th March last, in her eighty-sixth year. Born on February 22nd, 

 1810, at Poutefract, in Yorkshire, most of her youth was spent 

 either at that place or in tlie county of Durham. In 1842 she 

 married Mr. Robert Lomax, J. P., of Lomax Fold, Harwood, near 

 Bolton-le-Moors, Lancashire, who died in 1850. A few years after- 

 wards she removed to Harrow, where both her sons were educated. 

 It was not until 1869-70 that she first turned her attention to 

 systematic botanical collecting; but she was not long in joining the 

 Botanical Exchange Club, and being at that time resident near 

 Penzance, made the acquaintance of Mr. Curnow and other local 

 botanists, who materially aided her in her researches, the result 

 being the gradual formation of a well-prepared and rich British 

 herbarium, characterized by much neatness of detail and method in 

 arrangement. Almost to the close of her long life she continued to 

 take a vivid interest in things botanical, and, usually accompanied 

 by her daughter, would often journey to out-of-the-way places to 

 see rare plants in situ, e.g. Leucujain verniun at Bridport, Tricho- 

 manes Columnrp at the Warren, Dawlish, and Saxifr/ii/n Hirculus on 

 Cotherstone Fell, York. The writer had the pleasure, in July, 

 1878, of staying with her at Braemar, and well remembers her 

 almost youthful enthusiasm over the rare plants of Glen Callater, 

 Lochnagar, and the Cairngorm range of mountains. For nearly 

 twenty years she resided more or less at Torquay. Her herbarium 

 has been offered by her trustees as a gift to the Manchester Museum, 

 Owens College.— J. C. M.
