He was superseded by Allan Cunningham (whose faithful 
friend he was) on 12th February, 1837. He was Superin- 
tendent from February, 1838, until his death on 22nd April, 
1842. Buried in Devonshire-street Cemetery; remains 
removed to La Perouse, 1901. His New South Wales plants 
are in various herbaria. The genus Andersonia, R.Br. 
(Epacridaceze) does not primarily commemorate James 
Anderson (as is stated by some authors), but William 
Anderson, Surgeon and Botanist of Cook’s 3rd voyage.

at Oldbury, 8 miles from Berrima, 25th February, 1834. 
A daughter of Mr. J. J. O. Atkinson. Married in 1870 
Mr. James Snowden Calvert (who accompanied Leichhardt 
on his first expedition). She spent nearly all her life at 
** Fernhurst,’’ Kurrajong Heights, and she collected largely 
for Rev. Dr. Woolls and Mueller. Many of her plants are 
recorded in the ‘** Flora Australiensis,’’ and in Mueller’s 
““Fragmenta.’’ She possessed considerable literary gifts, 
and besides writing Australian tales, illustrated by herself, 
she wrote country sketches for a number of important 
papers, containing notes on the botany, etc., of the Hawkes- 
bury district. She died 28th April, 1872, leaving a daughter. 
She was interested in zoology, and was an expert taxi- 
dermist. She was an excellent botanical artist, delighting 
in depicting the native flora. She was known to her intimate 
friends by the name of “*‘ Dianella.’’ She is commemorated 
by the Loranthaceous genus Atkinsonia, also Erechthites 
Atkinsonice, H.v.M. and Epacris Calvertiana. <A horti- 
culturally distinct fern called Doodia Atkinsonii (a form 
of D. caudata) was named after her. See (6), p. 77. Iam 
indebted to Mr. H. Selkirk for some of the above particu- 
lars. [For portrait see Plate 14.]
