memorial erected in 1914 by the Royal Academy of Sciences 

 Stockholm, in the Swedish Cemetery at Woking (Brook- 

 wood), consisting of a headstone of Swedish granite, 

 inscribed " Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien reste varden 

 1914. Daniel Solander 1733 - 1782." An account of this 

 monument will be found in "Nature," 4th March, 1915, 

 p. 13. There is a striking portrait of Solander by John 

 Zoffany in the possession of the Society, and a copy of an 

 engraving of the same in the possession of the Linnean 

 Society of New South Wales. 



The New South Wales monument erected at Kurnell, 

 Botany Bay, also consists of an obelisk, and bears the

 Joseph Banks at Botany Bay on the 29th of April, 1770."

 and also the Algse. Algse had a special attraction for him 

 and he co-operated with W. H. Harvey in regard to such 

 plants from both Australia and South Africa. In the 

 latter's "Phycologia Australica" we have figured Erythro- 

 clonium Sonderi Harv., Caulerpa Sonderi F.v.M., and 

 Cystophora Sonderi J. Ag. In 1871 he contributed a paper
