FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 395 
Bloxam’s Register of Magdalen College, vii. 252. Besides the Flora 
Mr. Walker was editor or author of several works and assisted the late 
venerable Dr. Routh, President of Magdalen, in correcting for the press 
the second edition of the Religuie Sacre. His wife still survives and 
retains his herbarium of Oxford plants. 
In 1839, Mr. W. Wilson Saunders, F.L.S., published in the Magazine 
of Natural History, n. 8. vol. iii., pp. 239-242, May 18309, a list of a few 
rare or interesting plants noticed in the neighbourhood of Nirtlington. 
His very valuable general herbarium has become the property of the 
University. 
In 1841 appeared a ‘Catalogue of Plants growing about Banbury,’ 
by Geo. Gulliver, F.R.S., F.L.8., Assistant Surgeon to the Royal Regi- 
ment of Horse Guards, a valuable contribution to our Flora as the district 
round Banbury had previously been unworked. Mr. Gulliver adds 
Hypericum quadrangulum (dubium), Isatis, Hesperis, Crataegus var., 
Cuscuta Epithymum, and 3 or 4 other plants in his list of 400 species; 
his catalogue also including a large number of Cryptogams. <A few plants 
inserted are evidently errors. These are Sonchus palustris, Stachys ger- 
manica, Vella annua and probably Carex levigata. His Herbarium was 
presented to the Literary Society of Chatham. Mr. Gulliver was born at 
Banbury on the 4th of June, 1804. He early commenced the study of 
Botany and between 1818 and 1824 made a collection of plants which 
formed the basis of his Banbury list. This list however was not published 
as we have seen till 1841. In 1860 an article by him on The Marginal 
nerves of the leaves of Mosses appeared in the Annals of Natural History ; 
and in 1861 he contributed a series of papers on Raphides to the same 
Journal. In 1866 he drew attention in the Journal of Botany to the 
difference in the size of the pollen grains of Lotus corniculatus and L. major 
(ptlosus). In 1868 he took up his residence at Canterbury, where he 
became Secretary to the East Kent Natural History Society, and it was at 
Canterbury he died on Nov. 17, 1882. 
In the Phytologist, vol. v., p. 153, is an interesting paper on the Plants of 
the Goring district, by Mr. W. Pamplin, A.L.S.,in which are noticed most 
of the plants peculiar to the Chalk district. Mr, Pamplin has favoured 
me with many notes relating to that and other portions of the county. 
About 1840, Dr. Ayres of Thame did good work in the lower Crypto- 
gams and in conjunction with Mr. Baxter published a list in the Phyto- 
logist, vol. i., pp. 661, 702. 
Towards the end of 1841 appeared The Botany of the Neighbourhood 
of Banbury, with a sketch of the Geology furnished for Mr. Alfred 
Beesley’s ‘ History of Banbury,’ by Mr. Thomas Beesley. This is a list 
of about 500 species occurring in the north of the county, besides a large 
number of Cryptogams. This list with the author’s MS. notes was used 
as the chief source of Oxford records in Topographical Botany by Mr. 
H.C. Watson. The additions to our Flora made by Mr. Beesley in his
