and made a collection in China, which he presented to the 

 Kew Herbarium. He had an excellent knowledge of the flora 

 of Cheviotland, and checked a catalogue for Mr. Watson for 

 use in "Topographical Botany." After his marriage he retired 

 from the army, and lived for some time at Freshwater in the 

 Isle of Wight. He became a Fellow of the Linnean Society 

 in 1869. He died at Fareham, Hants. 



Dr. Richard Spruce, born 181 7, died 1893, is well known 

 by the large collections he made in South America. His 

 papers on the Mosses and Hepaticee of Upper Teesdale will 

 be found in the Annals of Natural History, 1846, p. 191-203, 

 271-283, and in the Transactions of the Edinburgh Botanical 

 Society, vol. ii. (1846), p. 65-89. 



I have not attempted to include in these notes our living 

 botanists. In conclusion, I should like to express my indebt- 

 ness, especially as regards exact dates, to Britten and Boulger's 

 " Biographical Index of British Botanists."
