204 FLORE DU NORD-OUEST DE l'aFRIQUE. 



it seems that from that time ''his intervals of ill-health were much 

 more frequent than before, and he was never ngain equal to the 

 same degree of sustained activity as in former smnmers." And 

 indeed he seems to have sustained permanent injury, as we find 

 ifc stated that, in 1879, " The injuries received six years ago at 

 Inishkea were telling upon him, and coustant pain in the hip- 

 joint, sometimes amounting to acute agony, threatened to render 

 him permanently helpless. On the 17th September [1879] he 

 underwent an operation"; and it was not until the 25th of 

 February, 1880, that a note in his journal records, "leg-wound 

 closed and healed." 



In both the Isle of Wight and in Ireland, More's work was of 

 a permanent character. In the former district he succeeded, as a 

 resident botanist. Dr. Bromfield, who died whilst travelling in 

 Syria in October, 1851 ; and More much regretted that a projected 

 meeting of the two botanists, before Dr. Bromfield left England, 

 had unfortunately been prevented. Some of Dr. Bromfield's bota- 

 nical apparatus came into Mr. More's hands, and by him was given 

 to the writer when Mr. More finally settled in Ireland. He also set 

 in order and considerably added to the herbarium of Dr. Bromfield's 

 plants, which was, and still is, in the custody of the Philosophical 

 Society at Eyde. 



The articles on the Zoology and Botany of the Isle of Wight, 

 published in 1860 in Venables' Guide to the Island, and the 

 Supphment to the Flora Vectensis, published in this Journal in 1871, 

 are still the latest collected records published as regards the Isle of 

 Wight as a separate district ; though Mr. Townsend's Flora of 

 Hants contains these and later records. 



As regards Ireland, his great work is the (Jybele Hihernlca, 

 which Dr. Moore and he published in 1866, and of which Dr. Moore 

 wrote that Mr. More "took even more than his full share in that 

 work." This Cijhele was carried out upon similar lines to those laid 

 down by Mr. Hewett Cottrell Watson for his Ci/hele Britcmnica ; and 

 was followed by a supplement, published in 1872. The new edition 

 of the Cybele, at which he had been working since 1882, he did not 

 live to complete. 



The Life and Letters, for which we are indebted to his sister 



Miss Frances M. More, has been very ably edited by Mr. C. B. 



Moffat, B.A., and forms a handsome volume, well printed, and 



appropriately bound in green. The likeness of Mr. More, though 



by no means a flattering one, will yet vividly recall his personal 



appearance to all who knew him. -ri o
