LINNEAN PAPERS-HONOURS. 17 



It would be a grievous thing to see so valuable a collec- 

 tion dispersed in different directions. 



To the Transactions of the Linnean Society he con- 



J H anbury. 



tributed: "Note on Cassia Moschata" (H. B. et K.), 

 xxiv. 161 ; "On the Species of Garcinia which affords 

 Gamboge in Siam" (G. Morella), xxiv. 487; and, with 

 Mr. Currey, "Kernarks on Sclerotium Stipitatum and 

 Similar Productions/ 7 xxiii. 93. Numerous other com- 

 munications will be found scattered through the Journal 

 of the Linnean Society. 



Much laborious work was devoted to the compilation 

 of the Pharmacopoeia of India ; and he had no incon- 

 siderable share in drawing up the " Admiralty Manual 

 of Scientific Inquiry." 



I feel no desire to enumerate his various honours, Scientific 



distinc- 



seeing that they were never alluded to by himself; tions. 

 suffice it to say that he was a Fellow of the Chemical 

 Society (January 21, 1858), and in 1869 was on its 

 Council ; that he was elected Fellow of the Koyal Micro- 

 scopical Society, June 1867; and that the crowning 

 honour was bestowed also in 1867, when he was elected 

 a Fellow of the Eoyal Society, and placed on its Council 

 in 1873. Let him speak for himself: "For some time Elected 

 I strenuously refused to allow myself to be placed the Royal 

 among the candidates for admission to the R.S., feeling 

 that it would be invidious were the honour of member- 

 ship conferred on a pharmaceutist who had really accom- 

 plished so little for science, and who had in many ways 

 smaller merits than several others who could be selected. 

 But it was urged, ' You must leave that to the judgment 

 of your friends/ So this I did ; and I do not know who 

 drew up my certificate, and, with one exception, by 

 whom it was signed/'
