' Flora Australiensis.' He was generous to a fault, devoting the 

 whole of the savings from his official salary to science, charities, 

 and good works. He was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society 

 in 1859, of the Royal in 1861, and was awarded a Royal Medal 

 in 1888. Of other British and foreign scientific societies he 

 held 150 diplomas. He never married. His last and fatal illness 

 was an affection of the brain, of a fortnight's duration, due to 

 study, worry, insomnia, and a total abandonment of bodily exer- 

 cise. He died in his official residence in Melbourne, October 9th. 

 1896.
