botanist and was helping in the investigation. Mr. Corry was a 

 diligent worker, and had already attained a position amongst rising 

 botanists beyond what his twenty-four years seem to warrant. He 

 was Lecturer on Botany in the University Medical and Science 

 Schools, Cambridge; and Assistant Curator of the University 

 Herbarium. 



Stewart was thus left to carry on the preparation of the Flora 

 for the press, and he took the greatest care in testing every record 

 that it was possible to test and confirm. This was a feature of 

 his life. He never took anything for granted, and therefore his 

 botanical work is thoroughly reliable. His care in this respect 

 was so great as occasionally to disturb some of his friends and 

 helpers, but it was a good quality. He contributed several 

 important reports on Irish Botany to the Proceedings of the Royal 

 Irish Academy. 



A most interesting biographical sketch of Stewart's life, by 

 Rev. C H. Waddell, B.D., will be found in the Annual Report 

 and Proceedings of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club for 1910-1 1, 

 pp. 410-434, and in the "Irish Naturalist" for October, 1910 

 And in the same number of the "Irish Naturalist" is a con- 

 tribution by Mr. R. LI. Praeger on Stewart's Work, togethe: 

 with a complete list of his writings. 



It is a tragic and remarkable coincidence that Stewart's 

 death, like that of his coadjutor on the " Flora of the North-East 

 of Ireland," was also the result of an accident. He died from 

 injuries received from a fall in Ann Street, Belfast, on 15th June, 

 1 9 1 o. 



David Redmond, born in parish of Connor, died 1905, and 

 was buried in the new cemetery at Antrim. Was much interested 

 in the study of our native plants, and was a member of the 

 Belfast Naturalists' Field Club. He supplied a number of 

 localities for rare plants to Stewart and Corry's " Flora of the 

 N.-E.," added Cerastium arvense to the Flora of Antrim, and was 

 the first to discover Allium oleraceum in Ireland. See in " Irish
