These. districts were adopted with slight modifications in the 
continuation o arvey & Sonder’s Flora Capensis, edited by 
Sir W. T. Thiselton-Dyer and still in progress. In 1886 he 
contributed to the official handbook a “Sketch of the Flora of 
South Africa,” and in 1905 he published an amended “Sketch of 
the Floral Regions of South Africa.” In 1903 Dr. Bolus drew up 
in collaboration with Major Wolley-Dod an annotated list of the 
plants of the Cape Peninsula, the flora of which is extremely rich. 
In 1873 Dr. Bolus was elected a Fellow of the Linnean ‘Society. 
The University of South Africa conferred the honorary degree of 
D.Se. on him in recognition of his scientific work and of his 
liberality in endowing the Professorship. is name has been 
commemorated by Mr. Bentham in the genus Ps of the tribe 
Galegae in Leguminosae, and many species have also been named 
is honour, including Drimia Bolusii, Hasoovhié Bolusii, 
Cheilanthes Bolusii. 
His remains were interred after a very simple service, according 
to his wishes, in the Oxted churchyard. 
_ The following letter received by the Director from Professor 
Pearson ee the esteem in which Dr. Bolus was held in 
outh Africa :— 
“The news of the death of Dr. Bolus, which came by cable on 
Friday, has very much shocked his friends here. When I saw him 
off at the docks, a month ago, he told me that he felt he might 
never return, But that he should have died so shortly after his 
arrival in England, I suppose before he had time to see many of his 
friends, is fiaekicislncly sad. I have felt for some time that he was 
becoming unattached to this country, and, in fact within the last 
two years he had Sis hen talked of the noaestakts of returning 
to end his life in England 
other. Asa man of business he was known for his strict integrity ; 
as a botanist his enthusiasm and energy and his willingness to help 
the many isolated workers who kept in touch with him have aia, 
perhaps, more than anything else to establish Botany in this country. 
To me he has been the kindest of friends ever since I came here. 
All that he stood for in the country, especially with respect to the 
science he has made so signally his own, we shall not know until we 
have learned what it is to do without him
