194 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



Agardli (1901) and Batters (1907), numerous reviews, and a series 

 of notes on recent algological work. To the Transactions of the 

 Linnean Society she contributed a paper on Turhinaria in 1891 ; to 

 its Journal papers on various genera of Algae (1898-1900) ; and 

 to its Proctedings (1894-5) a translation of the autobiography 

 of George Ehret. In the account of the results of the ' Siboga ' 

 Expedition (1899-1900) she published a monograph of Halimeda 

 (1901), and in collaboration with her husband an important mono- 

 graph of the Godlacecd (1911). Other papers, some of them with the 

 same collaboration, dealt with the Marine Algse of China, the Indian 

 Ocean, Ceylon, Borneo, the Kermadecs, and New South Wales. For 

 twenty years (until her death) she wrote algological abstracts for the 

 Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society and for the Botanisches 

 Centralhlatf. 



In 1891 Ethel spent a long holida}^ in Scotland, where she worked 

 at the Marine Biological Station known as " the Ark " at Millport, 

 Cumbrae ; here she made the acquaintance of Sir John Murray and of 

 E. A. L. Batters, whose knowledge of Algae greatlj^ extended her 

 acquaintance with them, especially of the smaller parasitic species ; 

 her collections made during this period are in the Botanical Depart- 

 ment. In 1892 she attended the meeting of the British Association 

 at Edinburgh, where her knowledge of French and German proved 

 useful to Sir John Murra}^ at whose house she was staying ; she w^as 

 also present at the Association meetings at Oxford in 1894, Dover in 

 1899, and Glasgow in 1901. In July 1895 her work was interrupted 

 by an attack of pleuris}^ which, after a period of convalescence, was 

 renewed in the following year, and necessitated a winter's residence 

 on the Eiviera. 



On her restoration to health Ethel's work at the Museum was re- 

 sumed, her holidays being mostly spent in the south of England ; she 

 was accustomed to speak with great pleasure of a walking tour in 

 the Black Forest in the autumn of 1898, when on her way home she 

 visited her friends the Webers at Eerbeck, in Holland, with whom 

 she had long been intimate. In October of 1901 she visited Dublin, 

 where she selected from Harve^^'s herbarium duplicates of his Algie 

 for the British Museum. 



In 1902, as briefly announced in this Journal at the time, Ethel 

 was married at St. Luke's, Chelsea, on June 9, to Mr. Antony Gepj^, 

 whose acquaintance she had made in the Museum. 



The marriage was followed by a visit to Italy, which she keenly 

 appreciated; and from 1903 onwards they lived happily at Kew, 

 where a daughter and son were born in 1905 and 1908. Ethel 

 continued her work on Algae at the Kew Herbarium and at the 

 British Museum as opportunity^ served until August, 1911, when her 

 health broke down under a serious attack of phthisis, from which she 

 never recovered. Under urgent necessity she was moved to Paignton 

 in November, and subsequently to St. Marychurch and Torquay ; in 

 the latter place a house Avith sunny aspect was taken in 193 3, to 

 which the family removed. Here Ethel fortunate^ secured as 

 companion Miss R. C. Garde, whose skill and constant devotion
