The portrait of him in the Museum of the Adelaide Botanic 

 Gardens is reproduced in " The Garden and Field," Adelaide, 

 December, 1907, p. 487. 



GuNN, Ronald. See (4), p. 15. See also (a) " Contributions 

 towards a Flora of Van Dieman's Land, from Collections sent by 

 R. W. Lawrence and Ronald Gunn, Esq., and by Dr. Scott," by 

 W. J. Hooker in Hooker's Journ. of Bot., i. 241 (1834) ; {b) " Con- 

 tributions towards a Flora of Van Dieman's Land chiefly from the 

 Collections of Ronald Gunn, Esq., and the late Mr. Lawrence," by 

 Joseph Dalton Hooker, M.D., R.N., London Journ. of Bot., ii., 

 399 (1840). 



Gunn was appointed Secretary of the Tasmanian Society 

 (Hobart) on 4th June, 1844. See Tas. Journ., ii., 317. 



Incidentally I may refer to an account of the foundation of 

 the " Royal Society of Van Diemen's Land jf or Horticulture, Botany 

 and the Advancement of Science." The Botanic Garden, Hobart, 

 was founded at the same time. See Tas. Journ., ii., 348. 



I am indebted for the portrait of Ronald Gunn, which is repro- 

 duced (and which is the only one I have ever seen), to his niece. Miss 

 Louisa C. Gunn, of Launceston, Tasmania. 



Heyne, E. B. See (3), p. 108. 



Mr. F. Pitcher, of the Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, points 

 out that I am in error at p. 109 in stating that Mr. Ferguson " suc- 

 ceeded him," Mr. J. G. Luehmann having been his successor. Mr. 

 Pitcher writes : — 



Mr. Ferguson did not appear on the scenes for a long time after Mr. 

 Luehmann had become clerk and assistant to the Baron. In fact, Mr. 

 Ferguson was appointed to act in the distinct position of curator rather than 

 as assistant to the Baron. 



Mr. Heyne resigned in January, 1869, probably about the 17th or 18th 

 of that month, and was succeeded by Luehmann. 



HussEY, Miss Jessie L. (1862-1899). 



Born at Port Eliot, South Austraha, 5th June, 1862. Became 

 totally deaf in 1889, and her health otherwise impaired. In 1893 

 commenced collecting algae of the southern coast of South Australia 

 for Mueller, who sent them to Agardh, who named two new species 

 of her collecting after her, viz., Crysymenia Husseyana and Pachy- 

 glossum Hitsseyanum. She was an indefatigable and careful col- 

 lector and corresponded with many algologists in Europe and 

 America. She also collected phanerogams, and, shortly before her 

 death, which took place in March, 1899, she offered her herbarium, 

 consisting of 2,000 plants, as a gift to the Adelaide Museum.
