XLIV.—MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 
Gustav Mann.—We have recently learnt with deep regret of 
the death, in his 81st year, of Mr. Gustav Mann, which occurred 
at Munich on June 22nd. As Collector for Kew on Dr. Baikie’s 
Niger Expedition in 1859, he was the first to explore botanically 
the mountains of W. Tropical Africa, and in particular he made 
valuable collections on the Cameroon Mountain. In 1863 Mann 
was appointed assistant in the Government Cinchona plantations, 
Darjiling, and in the following year became assistant Con- 
servator of Forests, Bengal. From November, 1868, he served 
in the Assam Forest Service, being appointed Conservator in 
1882 and retired in May, 1891. In KB. 1907, p. 247, a short 
account of Mr. Mann’s work is given in connection with the 
presentation of his portrait to Kew.
