RECORDS OF AUSTRALIAN BOTANISTS. 95 
He left Sydney for England in 1810 and rejoined the 
Middleton (near Manchester) Botanic Society. Later on 
he became Curator of the Botanic Garden, St. Vincent, 
West Indies (1816-1822). He returned to England, May 
1823, then settled in London, dying at Bayswater, 23rd 
May, 1829. He collected birds and other fauna. As regards 
his botanical work, both Banks and Brown never hesitated 
to speak of the value of it and of the ability of Caley, 
Robert Brown speaks of him as ‘“ Botanicus peritus et 
accuratus.’’ JI have pointed out (Agric. Gazette N.S.W., 
October 1903, p. 988) that he discovered hybridization in 
the genus Hucalyptus. He is commemorated in the genus 
Caleya, also in Dodonea Caleyana, G. Don = D. boronicfolia, 
G. Don; Viola Caleyana, G. Don; Acacia Caleyi, A. Cunn. = A. 
podalyriefolia, A. Cunn.; Anadenia Caleyr, R. Br. = Grevillea 
ramosissima, Meissn.; Banksia Caleyt, R.Br.; Grevillea Caleyt, 
R. Br.; Persoonia Caleyi, F.v.M. =P. chamepeuce, Lhotsky; Pro- 
stanthera Caley, Benth. = 1. 
Recently I have dedicated a New England Ironbark, 
Hucalyptus Caleyi, to his memory, to remind botanists of 
his discovery of hybridisation in the genus, in which he 
showed an Ironbark to take a part. 
Carron, William (1823-1876). Born in Norfolk, Eng- 
land, 18th December, 1823, died at Grafton, N.S.W., 25th 
February, 1876. His daughter informs me that he arrived 
in Sydney in 1843 in charge of plants for one of the Macleays 
(Alexander or William Sharp). On 29th April, 1848, 
Edmund B. Kennedy, Assistant Surveyor, left Sydney in 
the barque “‘Tam o’ Shanter”’ to explore the country lying 
between Rockingham Bay and Cape York. Carron was 
botanist of the Expedition, and on its return (he and Jacky 
Jacky were the only survivors), he published a pamphlet 
‘Narrative of Kennedy’s Expedition,’ which is abstracted 
in H. Stuart Russell’s ** Genesis of Queensland.’’ ~ There is
