the painting clone during that period, we can realize to some 

 extent the intense application of the artist. But her rapidity of 

 execution was as marvellous as her fidelity to nature and her 

 staying power. 



Soon after the completion of the new arrangements, Miss North 

 retired to Alderley, and rarely went to London. Her last visit to 

 the gallery was about the end of February, 1888. It was evident 

 then that her repeated references to approaching death were not 

 the outcome of a morbid imagination, induced by over- work. After 

 her return to Alderley, in 1888, she was very ill, but she partially 

 recovered ; and, in spite of occasional relapses, she enjoyed her 

 garden of flowers, and entertained a few visitors. 



Miss North was not a botanist, though she painted so accurately 

 that many persons naturally supposed that she was. She remem- 

 bered the botanical names given her fairly well, and she knew well 

 the external morphology of the flowers she painted, but she never 

 attempted to master the technicalities of systematic botany. Yet 

 she was a great observer, otherwise her work could not have been 

 so accurate, and would not have formed so enduring a memorial of 

 her as it is now likely to do.

FRESH- WATER ALG^ OF ENBRIDGE LAKE AND 



VICINITY, HAMPSHIRE. 



By John Roy, LL.D. 



The material on which the following list is founded was 

 gathered in February, in the years 1888-89, in Hants, in the 

 neighbourhood of Newbury. The best gatherings were from 

 Enbridge Lake (= E. in the list) ; the others are from — Woolton 

 Pond (=W.); Ball Hill Pond (=B.); Red Pool, High Clere 

 (= R.) ; Millford Lake, High Clere (= M.) ; Malverley West Pond 

 (= P.) ; and Hampstead Park Pond (= H.). 



My attention being mainly directed to Desmids, it is very likely 

 that several of the other Algae were either not noted or overlooked ; 

 also at that season many of them, such as (Edogonia, Spirogyra, 

 &c, could not be named with certainty. Not pretending to know 

 Diatoms critically, none are entered in the list ; it may be men- 

 tioned, however, that the favourite test-object, Amphipleura pellucida 

 Kg. occurs in Malverley West Pond, and Navicula rhomboides Ehr. 

 was seen in some of the gatherings. 



My first intention was merely to publish the few species 

 additional to those contained in Mr. Bennett's list (Journ. Roy. 

 Micros. Soc, read 11th Dec. 1889), but on further consideration 

 I have resolved to issue it as it is, chiefly on account of the 

 collector, my valued friend the late R. F. 0. Farquharson, of 

 Haughton, Aberdeenshire, of whom a notice appeared in the 

 • Scottish Naturalist ' for July last. Besides taking his full share 

 in county business, and attending closely to the management of his 

 estates, Mr. Farquharson found time for microscopic researches, of
