Sept. 21st, was born at Felthorpe Hall, seven miles north of that 
town, on July 11th, 1831. When he was about ten years o 
family returned to Norwich, and lived in the house in Surrey Street 
i i d At the age of 
terest which continued until his sight failed in his last illness. When 
he was nineteen both his parents died, and he left the Surrey Street 
house. He was for forty years in business in Norwich as a wine

Norfolk collections) to his daughter, Miss Alice M. Geldart, who is 
herself a botanist. 
Mr. G. C. Druce is anxious to obtain the help of our readers 
towards the erection of a small monument to George Don in his 
native town of Forfar. The local Committee of the recent Phar- 
maceutical Conference at Dundee has contributed £5 towards this 
object, and the Forfarshire Field Club has promised similar help. 
hose willing to contribute should communicate with Mr. Druce at 
118, High Street, Oxford. 
Ix the January number we propose to begin an interesting 
account of the plates of English Botany, on which Mr. F. Garry 
has been engaged for a considerable time. This will include the 
sources of the plates and a transcription of the notes on the original 
awings, most of which are in the library of the National Her- 
barium. The account will be issued as a separately paged supple- 
ment, and will be continued monthly until completed. We regret 
that, owing to @ misunderstanding on the part of the printer, no 
Separate copies can be obtained of Dr. Batters’s * Catalogue of the 
ritish Marine Alge,” which is completed with the present number.
