636 Obituary. 



distinguishing the various objects of natural history, everlasting obligations 

 have been conferred upon the admirers of the sister sciences, entomology 

 and botany; and the ample and affectionate testimonials from scientific 

 institutions, both foreign and of this country, spontaneously conferred 

 upon Mr. Haworth, are convincing proofs that his labours have been duly 

 appreciated by the philosophical and learned world, both at home and 

 abroad." 



" The museum contains about forty thousand insects, arranged in 

 beautiful and systematic order, in cabinets of peculiar construction ; with 

 a select collection of Crustacea, radiata, corallinae, fishes, &c. ; about 

 twenty thousand dried plants, arranged in natural orders and glued ; and 

 a considerable collection of living succulent plants." .... 



" During a period of more than thirty years, Mr. Haworth has con- 

 tributed largely to various entomological and botanical works, and has 

 been honoured by having a genus and species called after his name." [In 

 botany there are the genus Haworthza, closely allied to the genus J'loe, 

 and Mesembryantheraum Haworthw, and, doubtless, others : in entomo- 

 logy others. — J. Z).] 



" Among his most important works may be mentioned [I place what 

 supplementary information I possess between crotchets. — J. Z).] : — 



" Observations on the genus Mesembryanthemum, 8vo, 1794. [was out 

 of print as early as 1828.] The first part of Lepidoptera Britannica, 1803 ; 

 finished in the fourth part, in 1828, 8vo. [Second part, in 1809; third, in 

 1811 ; and the fourth and last part, with index, in all about 640 pages, in 

 April, 1828. Wood, in the Strand, is the bookseller who is the proprietor 

 of it]. Miscellanea Naturalia, adjoined to [the first part of] the last work, 

 but separately paged [1803, but was out of print as early as 1828]. The 

 sixth volume of Andrews's Botanist's Repository, 4to, 1803. [? 1804.] 

 Synopsis Plantarum Succuientarum, 8vo, 1812. Supplementum Plan- 

 tarum Succuientarum, 8vo, 1819. Narcissorum Revisio, adjoined to the

 10.?. 6f?.] Revisiones Plantarum Succuientarum, 8vo, 1821. Saxifrage- 

 arum Enumeratio, adjoined to the last work, but separately paged, 1821. 

 [the price of the two, together, is \^s. 6d. Thirty-one communications to 

 Taylor's Philosojjhical Magazine, since September, 1823. Narcissinearum 

 Monographia, appended to the twenty-fifth number of the second series of 

 Sweet's British Flowei'-Garden ; but, subsequently, a second edition of the 

 Monographia, corrected and augmented, has been published separately, in 

 an octavo pamphlet, price 2s. 6d. : see a notice of the work in the Ga7-- 

 deiier's Magazi7ie, Vol. VII. p. 479, 480. and Vol. VIII. p. 212. A new- 

 arrangement of the double-flowered Chinese chrysanthemums, with an 

 improved method of cultivating them, in the Gardener^s Magazine for 

 April, 1833, Vol. IX. p. 218—226.] 



" Also various contributions to the Linnaean Society, the Horticultural 

 Society [see his excellent, for the time, paper on the crocuses, in the first 

 volume of the Hort. Trans.'], and the Entomological Society; to all which 

 Mr. Haworth belongs; and has had the honour to receive [in 1826] 

 gratuitously (and altogether unsolicited by him) diplomas for fellowship in 

 the Csesarean Society of Natural History at Moscow, and [in 1828, 

 previously to August 24.] of the Soci^te Royale d' Horticulture des Pays 

 Bas. 



" One of Mr. Haworth's earliest pieces appears to have been a Botanical 

 History of Rhus Toxicodendron, published in the first edition of Dr. 

 Alderson's medical essay on that plant, in 1793. [This was Mr. Haworth's 

 first attempt (as he himself expressed it to me) in print, but he had 

 previously helped Steel to some useful hints for his Essay on Gardening, 

 but had desired his name to be concealed.]
