with Professor W. H. Harvey, of Trinity College, Dublin, and ! 

 William Wilson, of Warrington. Specimens of mosses collected 

 by him in Wicklow and Kildare in 1857, in which neighbourhood 

 he then lived, are preserved in the herbarium of Trinity College.

 " Phytologist " and "Irish Naturalist" from 1857 to 1907. 



Henry Chichester Hart, B.A., F.L.S., was born at Raheny, 

 Co. Dublin, 29th July, 1847, and died at Carrablagh, on shores 

 of Lough Swilly, 7th August, 1908. He did a very large amount' 

 of field-work between 1873 a "d the end of the century, parts of 

 nearly every county in Ireland receiving his attention. He 

 specialized in the flora of Co. Donegal. In Praeger's " Irish 

 Topographical Botany " are listed fifteen papers on Co. Donegal' 

 botany alone which he contributed to the "Journal of Botany"' 

 and Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. This material was' 

 eventually summarized in his well-known "Flora of Co. Donegal." 

 A short account of his life and work, from the pen of his friend, 

 R. M. Barrington, appears in the "Irish Naturalist" for December, 

 1908. 



Mrs. Mary Isabella Leebody, born in the Ards, Co. Down, 

 died in 1911 at Londonderry, did good botanical work for many 

 years, and added many records for the county in which she 

 resided. She is frequently mentioned in the " Irish Naturalist." 



Rev. George Robinson, M.A., Rector of Tartaraghan, Co. 

 Armagh, born 1824 (?) died 1884, was a careful and ardent 

 botanist, and contributed many records of the rarer plants from 

 Co. Armagh to Dickie's " Flora of Ulster." 



Another botanist who contributed to Dickie's records was 

 W. H. Ferguson, of Belfast, who was a pupil of his. 



A friend of Dickie's, William Millar, was a teacher in Belfast 

 who had always been very desirous of promoting a taste for 

 botany among his private pupils. He had an enthusiastic love for 

 the native plants of his country.
