The many specimens which Dr. Daniell brought to this country 

 also furnished materials for valuable papers by Mr. Bennett, Mr. 

 Carruthers, and other botanists. Among these may be mentioned, 

 1. "Description of the Kobo-tree (^Guibourtia copallifem,'Qen^, 

 a new genus of Leguminosce, collected by Dr. Daniell in Sierra 

 Leone " (Journal of the Linnean Society, vol. i.) ; 2. " Note on 

 the Species of Groton described by Linnajus under the names of 

 Glutia Eleuteria and Gliitia Gascarilla " (ib. vol. iv.), both by Mr. 

 Bennett, who, in commencing the latter paper, thus speaks of his 

 obligations to Dr. Daniell : — " During a late residence in the Ba- 

 hama Islands, the attention of our indefatigable Member, Dr. 

 Daniell, was especially directed to the species of Groton grooving 

 in those islands ; and I am enabled, by his kind communication of 

 the specimens collected by him, to clear up much of the obscurity 

 in which the species furnishiDg the Cascarilla barks of commerce 

 have been involved." 3. " On some species of Oaks from Northern 

 China, collected by W. P. Daniell, M.D., F.L.S.," by WilHam Car^ 

 ruthers, Esq., F.L.S. (ib. vol. vi.). 



A species of Amoinum from Western Africa was named in honour 

 of him in 1852 by Dr. Hooker ( Journ. Bot. vol. iv. p. 129). 



Dr. Daniell was a Fellow of the Eoyal Geographical Society, 

 and was a contributor to the Journal of that Society, as well as to 

 the Proceedings of other Societies, and to several periodicals. He 

 was also well acquainted with the native languages* of many of the 

 African tribes, and is said to have had some knowledge of Arabic ; 

 and in 1849 he published a volume on the ' Medical Topograj)hy 

 and Native Diseases of the Grulf of Gruinea.' This work is 



* Diu'ing the last few months of his life he was much occupied with a dic- 

 tionary (?) of the Burbur language, which he did not live to publish. , -
