Medicinalpflanzen des Ostreischen Pharmacopoe, Vienna, 1842. 



Grundziige der Botanik, Vienna, 1843, in conjunction with Unger. 



He also continued, after Spenner's death, in conjunction with 

 Putterlick, T. F. Nees von Esenbeck's ' Genera Plantarum Florae 

 Germanicse ;' and contributed largely to C. G. Nees von Esenbeck's 

 edition of Mr. Brown's • Vermischte Schriften;' to Poppig's 'Nova 

 Genera et Species Plantarum ;' to the ' Annalen des Wiener Museums 

 der Naturgeschichte;' to the ' Enumeratio Plantarum quas in Nova 

 HoUandia collegit Car. L. B. de Hligel;' and to the 'Flora Brasiliensis,' 

 which he edited in common with Von Martins. 



Of these numerous and important works the ' Genera Plantarum ' 

 is that on which his fame will chiefly rest, as a work of immense 

 labour, great research and profound botanical science. It will long 

 continue to be a book of standard reference to the systematic bota- 

 nist, of whose labours it is a constant and indispensable companion. 



In private life Professor Endlicher was a most excellent and 

 amiable man. He died at Vienna on the 28th of March of an apo- 

 plectic attack, caused as some physicians presumed by an effusion of 

 pus from the pars petrosa of the left side into the brain, as he had 

 suffered for many years from a polypus in the ear. On the previous 

 Monday he had received his friends with his usual calmness and 

 serenity, complaining only of a slight headache ; but at midday on 

 Wednesday he lost his speech and became insensible, and about 

 seven o'clock in the evening he ceased to exist, leaving a large circle 

 of warmly attached friends to deplore his premature loss. 



Two of our Associates are also to be added to the list of deaths. 



Mr. David Cameron was elected an Associate of the Society on the 

 20th November 1827. He was then resident as head gardener at 

 Bury Hill near Dorking, Surrey, the seat of the late Robert Barclay, 

 Esq., F.L.S. &c., in whose service he remained until the early part 

 of 1831, when he was appointed Curator of the recently founded 

 Botanic Garden at Birmingham. During his stay at Bury Hill he 

 communicated to the ' Gardener's Magazine ' (to which Journal he 

 was for many years an active contributor), two articles upon the 

 Flowering Plants and Ferns introduced into this country by Mr. 

 Barclay, or then growing at Bury Hill, with remarks on their culture, 

 and woodcuts of many of them ; also a paper on the mode of 

 destroying the Red Spider in hothouses. 



Among the numerous communications made by Mr. Cameron to 

 the editor of the ' Gardener's Magazine ' while he continued iu 

 charge of the Birmingham Garden, the principal are —
