PEMBROKESHIRE AND CARMARTHENSHIRE PLANTS. 

 Br AxTHOXT Wallis ; edited by C. E. Salmon, F.L.S. 



[In printing these notes, made b}^ my late friend Anthony Wallis 

 in 1916, it may not be out of place to give a few particulars of his life. 



Born at Reading July 14, 1879, Anthony Wallis was educated at 

 Leighton Park School, passed one year at Owens College, Manchester, 

 and entered King's College, Cambridge. Here rowing absorbed much 

 of his leisure, but time was found to compile "The Flora of the 

 Cambridge District," mainly upon ecological lines, for Marr and 

 Shiplev's Natural History of Cainhridyesliire, 1U04. 



After taking his degree with Second Class Honours in Nat. Sci. 

 Tripos, and studying and ])assing in Pedagogy at Bishop Stortford 

 School, he was, at the early age of 23, appointed a Junior Inspector 

 for Bucks of the Education Department. Stationed at Aylesbury, a 

 good centre for botanical as well as educational activities, plant- 

 hunting claimed a large part of his spare time ; Gladium Mariscus 

 was discovered by him in the county (Bot, Ex. Club Rep. 1904, 35) 

 and many records were supplied to Mr. Gr. C. Druce for inclusion in 

 his forthcoming Flora, such as Anemone Fiilsatilla which we found 

 on the Downs. From Aylesbury, Wallis was transferred to Leeds, 

 and subsequently became Junior Inspector to the North Riding 

 with headquarters at Darlington. Whilst there he married Miss A. 

 E. Mounsey, of Blackwell Hill, near Darlington. 



After a few years, during which many botanical observations were 

 made during vacations (see Journ. Bot. 1910, 225, where Luzula 

 arcuata is mentioned from a fresh station, Ben Nevis, and Journ. 

 Bot. 1916, 165), Wallis was given the Senior Inspectorate for Cum- 

 berland and Westmorland with headquarters at Penrith. To work 

 thoroughly these mountainous counties, ill-served by road or rail, 

 ])roved almost too much for his strength even with the help of a car ; 

 the arduous work of bicycling long distances in all weathers, when 

 the car was stopped during the War, brought about lung and other 

 troubles and ultimately caused his death, which occurred at his house 

 at Penrith on August 28th.
