:moved to Geelong till 1863. For a time he edited the 

 *' Victorian Agricultural and Horticultural Gazette." He 

 "became editor of the " Launceston Times," and in 1868 

 removed to Hobart. In 1870 he was librarian of the 

 Public Library there. 



He industriously botanised for nearly the whole of 

 his residence in Australia, sending largely to Mueller. 

 Some of his specimens have fallen into my hands, and 

 the labels show him to l)e most neat in his methods and 

 scientifically accurate in his details. Mueller named the 

 genus Hannafordia (Sterculiaceae) after him. 



He co-operated with the Rev. John Fereday in col- 

 lecting algae at the Tamar Heads, Tasmania, for 

 Harvey, who in his " Phycologia Australica " figured 

 Ptilota (?) Hannafordi, Harv. 



He published four works — viz., " Flora Tottoniensis 

 — Flowering plants and ferns ... of Totnes " (Totnes, 

 185 1); "Jottings in Australia, or Notes on the Flora 

 ■and Fauna of \lctoria " (1856); "Sea and Riverside 

 Rambles " (i860); "The Wild Flowers of Tasmania, or 

 "Chatty Rambles Afioat and Ashore Amidst the Sea- 

 weeds, Ferns, and Flowering Plants, with a Complete 

 List of Indigenous Ferns and Instructions for their 

 •Cultivation " (8vo., pp. 188, 1866). 



The last three works were published in Melbourne.

HARRAP, E. D. ( ). 



There is a paper by him entitled "' Observations on

 mania " (this Journ., 1868, p. 19). There is also a paper 

 ■on Fluke, and another on Phyllactidum, in the 1869 

 volume. I know nolhing further of this botanist.
