good and he was advised to be much in the open air. To give interest 

 to his walks he would take up some special subject, and work the 

 neighbourhood well, until he could find little novelty. Thus he took up 

 Mosses and Lichens, Ornithology, Land and Fresh Water Molluscas, Lepi- 

 doptera, &c., taking up each subject with energy and patient perseverance. 

 For some years we tried to verify the localities, given in the Flora, near 

 Bury and Lowestoft, with the result of confirming many of those given 

 for rare plants and adding new ones. All our time together was occupied 

 with Natural History, with one exception, when he took me to the 

 Institute to show me the telescope he had assisted to mount. He was. 

 devotedly attached to his children, who were very young at the time 

 of his death, June 2nd, 1867.' He was interred in the Cemetery at 

 Bury St. Edmunds. 



The Flora of Suffolk of 1860, while it exhibits the progress of 

 botanical science in the County to that date, did not pretend to give a 

 complete and exhaustive account of its native plants. It was published 

 rather as an incentive to further research, and as a help to new labourers 

 in the field. It seems to have occupied but a very short time in pre- 

 paration ; and the means of information placed at the command of its 

 authors was comparatively small. It added nevertheless considerably 

 to the knowledge of the local Flora, and laid a foundation for further 

 efforts in the same direction. It is not possible in all cases to give the 

 authorities for the new plants recorded in its pages. The following 

 account is we believe substantially correct. A few plants are included 

 here not mentioned in the Flora, though given on the authority of its 

 authors. They are distinguished by an asterisk.
