262 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



some of the natives, it was discovered that he was murdered by savages, who 

 mistook him for an enemy. Mr. C. was a very able botanist, and of an amiable 

 and obliging disposition, he was beloved and respected by all who knew him, 

 and his death is universally lamented by every colonist in New South Wales, 

 and his friends in England. Thus, within the short space of two years, we have 

 to mourn the loss of three eminent British collecting Botanists, Mr. D. Douglas, 

 who met his death in the Sandwich Isles; Mr. Drummond, who fell a victim to 

 the unhealthiness of the Mexican climate; and the above uufortunate Mr. Cun- 

 ninghame, — all three of whom may be said to be martyrs to the science of 

 Botany, and whosu labours will never be forgotten from the many beautiful ad- 

 ditions to our flower gardens, which each of them introduced, and many of which 

 bears their name, and will transmit their memoirs to the latest posterity.
