University. He was Rector of North Chapel in the county of Sussex, 

 but was non-resident ; he died at Deptford in 1815. Roxburgh dedi- 

 cated the genus Milnea to him ; it is the Acjlaia of Loureiro. Mr. Gordon 

 was the son of James Gordon, the Nurseiyman, of Mile-End. 

 Good- Samuel Goodenough, Bishop of Carlisle, born at Kimpton near 



Weyhill in Hampshire on April 29, 1743, was the third son of 

 the Rev. W. Goodenough, Rector of Broughton Poggs in Oxfordshire. 

 On the return of his father in 1750 to the family living of Broughton, 

 where he had considerable landed property, Samuel was sent to 

 school at Witney, under the Rev. B. Gutteridge, of Emmanuel College, 

 Cambridge, and five years later to Westminster, where he became 

 King's Scholar. In 1760 he was elected to a Studentship at Christ 

 Church in Oxford, and took the degree of Bachelor of Arts on 

 May 9, 1764, of Master of Arts on June 21, 1767, and of Doctor of Civil 

 Law on July 11, 1772. He was an under-master at Westminster for 

 four years, and then succeeded, on the death of his father, to the 

 advowson of Broughton, and was appointed at the same time by his 

 College to the Vicarage of Brize Norton, also in Oxfordshire. In 1770 

 he mari'ied the daughter of Dr. James Ford, a distinguished medical 

 teacher, and two years later, at the instance of certain noblemen, who 

 desired that he should conduct the education of their children, he 

 removed to Ealing, and carried on a school there for twenty-six years, 

 during which time he had the charge of the sons of many distinguished 

 members of the aristocracy. When the Linnean Society was founded 

 in 1787 he was one of the framers of its constitution, and was treasurer 

 during the first year. Besides being a Vice-President of the Linnean 

 Society, he was a Vice-President also of the Royal Society and of the 

 Society of Antiquaries. In 1797 he was presented by the Bishop of 

 Oxford to the Vicarage of Cropredy, and in the following year was 

 promoted to a Canonry at Windsor, and in 1802 to the Deanery of 

 Rochester, which he obtained through the influence of the Duke of 

 Portland, all of whose children had been his pupils. In 1808 he was 

 raised through the same powerful influence to the Bishopric of 

 Carlisle. He died at Worthing on August 12, 1827, and was buried in 

 the north cloister of Westminster Abbey. His portrait hangs in the 

 dining-hall of Christ Church in Oxford, and there is a bust of him in 

 the rooms of the Linnean Society. 



Goodenough communicated his classical paper on British Carices to the 

 Linnean Society in 1792. It appeared in the Transactions of the Society 

 in 1794. Several Carices are here described for the first time. Carex 

 strigosa is stated to grow in Wytham Woods, as had been already 

 mentioned in the Flora Anglica, and Carex ampidlacea (C. rostrata) and 

 C. paniculata are both recorded from Virginia Water. Juncus bulbosus 

 was recorded by our author in the Flora Britannica and in E>iglish
