WHITWELL: WEST YORKSHIRE RECORDS AND NOTES. 27 
Thirsk was burnt down, his collections were destroyed, together with 
the greater part of the sheets of his just-printed ‘North Yorkshire.’ 
The joint Thompson herbarium was therefore given to Mr. Baker, 
supply of a typical series of British plants for the Wellington Museum, 
.Z., and the ‘Thompson-Baker collection was forwarded in 
response to the application, a selection from it having first been made 
for the British Herbarium at South Kensington 
r. S. Thompson died at Settle on the 3rd February, 1881. 
Mrs. Thompson died there in March, 1891, in the house in which 
she was born. For perfect gentleness and sweetness of character, 
warm, self-forgetting friendliness, and bright, thoughtful sociability, 
their names will long be cherished—by the writer and by many 
others who had the privilege of knowing them. 
TATHAM RECORDS. 
The page given after each plant-name is that of the ‘Flora of West 
orkshire.’ 
fT. indicates a specimen collected by Mr. Tatham himself, or not 
bearing another person’s name 
Personal Names mark specimens so authenticated, actually in the 
herbarium now. 
C. indicates species named in Mr. 'T.’s final catalogue of his collec- 
tion, though the specimen is not now there. 
MS. indicates species named in his manuscript notes elsewhere, 
usually in his copy of Baines’s ‘ Flora of Yorkshire.’ 
It has been considered advisable to obtain a number of the 
herbarium specimens for examination. Most of these have 
been submitted to Mr. J. G. Baker: such are marked 
J.G.B.). Those seen vo myself alone are marked 
Feizor Botanic Garden records (see for explanation Epimedium 
alpinum 1.) are included in square brackets. These are 
retained in case of possible escapes.
