Solander, Daniel Carl (1733-1782). Born at Pitea, 
Sweden, 12th February, 1733, died in London, 16th May, 
1782. He was a pupil of Linnzeus, and came to Hngland in 
1759. Was offered the post of Professor of Botany at St. 
Petersburg in 1762, but declined. Appointed assistant in 
the British Museum in 1765, and shortly afterwards entered 
the employment of Sir Joseph Banks, with whom and with 
Cook he went on the voyage of the ‘‘ Hndeavour,’’ 1768- 
1771, during which cruise New South Wales was discovered. 
He was made D.C.L., Oxon., 1771. On the return of the 
** Hndeavour’’ he lived in Banks’ house as botanist-librarian 
until his death. Like his master (Linnzeus) he was a 
naturalist in the wide sense of the word, a botanist, and a 
zoologist, although, like Linnzeus, he acquired the greater 
reputation as a botanist. Many of his descriptions of Aus- 
tralian plants will be found in Britten’s Botany of the 
voyage of the “ Endeavour,’ published by the Trustees of 
the British Museum. His published writings, however, 
fall short in amount of what might have been expected 
from so talented a botanist. See (1). For further bio-
