Libraries. 29 



In 1876, a transcript, by the daughters of Mr. Dawson Turner, of the 

 original Journal kept by Sir J. Banks during his voyage with Capt. 

 J. Cook, 1768-71, was transferred to the Botanical Department. The 

 original, which had been deposited with the MSS. Department to 

 become the property of the Trustees on the death of Lady Knatchbull, 

 was subsequently claimed and removed by Lord Brabourne, by whom it 

 was sold in 1886 for 7 2s. Qd. The journal was afterwards printed from 

 a transcript of the Dawson Turner copy, edited by Sir J. D. Hooker and 

 published in 1896. 



Transcripts by the same hands of Banks' correspondence were trans- 

 ferred with the Journal and are now bound in 20 volumes. 



In 1895 a copy by Miss S. S. Banks of the journal, kept by Sir 

 Joseph Banks during his voyage to Newfoundland and Labrador in 1766, 

 was acquired (B). 



Barclay (GEORGE) [ft. 1835-1841] 



Barclay accompanied Capt. Belcher as botanical collector on board the 

 Sulphur (1836-41). His autograph journal of the voyage is preserved in 

 the Museum (B). 



Bartram (WILLIAM) [1739-1828] 



William Bartram, son of the botanist, John Bartram [1701-1777] 

 (seven of whose letters to Dr. Fothergill form the Banksian MS. no. 23), 

 travelled in 1773 at the request of Dr. Fothergill through the southern 

 portions of the United States, and the original manuscript of his " Travels 

 through . . . Carolina, Georgia," etc., and a volume of 102 fols, containing 

 53 original drawings, with manuscript descriptions of the Plants and 

 Animals of those districts, form the Banksian MSS. no. 23, 78, and 

 79 (B). 



Bauer (FERDINAND LUCAS) [1760-1826] 



F. L. Bauer, who accompanied Robt. Brown on Flinders' voyage to 

 Australia, brought back a series of water-colour drawings of the Plants 

 and Animals observed. 49 of his drawings of Animals (Z) and 203 of 

 Plants (B) were presented by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty 

 in 1843, and two portfolios of his drawings were bequeathed in 1858 by 

 Robert Brown (B). 



His original drawings for some of the plates to A. B. Lambert's 

 " Genus Pinus " are preserved in the Museum (B). 



Bauer (FRANZ ANDREAS) [1758-1840] 



F. A. Bauer was employed by Sir Joseph Banks in making drawings 

 of Plants in the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the work being continued 

 after Sir Joseph's death under the special provisions contained in his will, 

 until the decease of Bauer. His drawings illustrating the " Germination 

 (>f Wheat " and the " Diseases of Corn," with many others, were included 

 in the Banksian Collection, and came to the Museum in 1827 ; but the 

 extensive series of the drawings made at Kew after Banks' death and 

 bequeathed to H.M. George IV., was presented to the Museum in 1841 

 by her late Majesty Queen Victoria (B). 



His original drawings for the plates to Sir W. J. Hooker's " Genera 

 Filicum," and other works with 127 drawings of British Orchids, and 

 some illustrating the form and structure of various parts of Plants, are 

 preserved in the Museum (B). 



Other drawings of his were purchased in 1879 (B), while some 

 illustrative of microscopic anatomy, done for Sir E. Home, were given in
