4 JAMES NANGLE. 



New South Wales Mosses. He made collectiDg trips to North 

 Queensland and Lord Howe Island, and these localities, 

 together with those already enumerated as his pastoral 

 charges, give the key to his collecting grounds. From 

 1909 to 1916 he was Honorary Custodian of Ferns and 

 Mosses in the National Herbarium of New South Wales, 

 and did excellent work there, and added considerably to 

 the national collection of these plants. He was a quiet, 

 unobtrusive worker, and his loss is much felt. 



Reverend William Moore White, a.m., ll.d., Dublin, 

 who was elected a life member of this Society in 1877, was 

 born at Oarrickfergus, Ireland, in 1843. He was educated 

 at Trinity College, Dublin, and graduated A.M. and LL.D. 

 Shortly after leaving the University he came to Sydney. 

 He was minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 

 which used to stand behind St, Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, 

 for many years. His return to England in 1890 was much 

 regretted by the adherents of his own church and a wide 

 circle of friends. After his return to England, he took 

 orders in the Anglican Church, and was vicar of St. James', 

 Bournemouth, with St. Andrew's, Boscombe, for about ten 

 years. Later he retired to Cheltenham, where he resided 

 up to the time of his death. 



During the year, His Majesty conferred the honour of 

 Knighthood on Professor David. It is rarely that any man 

 so completely reaches the hearts of all in the community 

 as Sir lidgeworth David has done. His labour in the cause 

 of science has been so great and so conspicuously successful 

 that he occupies a very high place in the ranks of the 

 scientists of this time. His unselfish devotion to the 

 service of the country in its hour of need, at a time of life 

 when he may well hnve given plaee to younger men, has 

 won the admiration of all. Brilliant as a scientist and a 

 good citizen, he also possesses such an endearing person-
