bullock. I assure you that I scarcely ever 
received such a shock in my life. On 
opening the coffin, the features of our poor 
friend were easily traced, but mangled in 
a shocking manner, and in a most offensive 
state. The next day, I had his remains 
deposited in their last resting-place; the 
funeral was attended by Captain Seymour 
and several of the officers of His Majesty's 
Ship Challenger, and the whole of the fo- 
reign Residents. I have caused his grave 
to be built over with brick, and perhaps 
his friends may send a stone to be placed 
(with an inscription) upon it. As I am 
about to embark in the Challenger to-mor- 
row for Otaheite, I have left all his effects 
in the hands of my friend, Mr. Rooke, with 
a request to sell his clothing, and forward 
his collections, books, papers, and instru- 
ments, to the Secretary of the Horticultu- 
ral Society. One of his chronometers, 
reflecting circle, and dipping needle, are 
on board the Challenger, in charge of Capt. 
Seymour. As I do not know the address 
of the friends or relations of Mr. Douglas, 
I shall feel very much obliged to you to 
forward the copy of Messrs, Goodrich’s 
and Diell’s letter to them. 
I remain, my dear Sir,

The little dog safely reached this coun- 
try, and was given, we believe, to Mr. 
Bandinel. There have come also a box of 
_ birds; and besides the Californian collec- 
tion already mentioned, several seeds and 
roots, a small Herbarium, chiefly formed, 
it would appear, in New Caledonia, and 
another from the Sandwich Islands, con- 
sisting of not more than three hundred 
species. These it is our intention to pub- 
lish with all convenient speed. A subscrip- 
tion is now in progress for the purpose of 
erecting a monument to his memory in his 
native place: and we are sure that his 
name and his virtues will long live in the 
recollection of his friends.
