Eucalyptus Consideniana’ to his memory. Secretary of 
State Dundas wrote,’ 14th July, 1792, granting leave of 
absence to Considen to return to England should the state 
of his health continue to require it. I know nothing further 
concerning this wortlry. 
Cunningham, Allan (1791-1839). I have given so full 
an account of Allan Cunningham, King’s Botanist and 
Superintendent of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, at (4) that 
I have but little to add at this place. The marble tablet 
to his memory in St. Andrew’s Scots’ Church is by Clewett 
of Sydney. “Cunningham on the vegetation of the N.W. 
Shores of Terra Australis, 1826,’ in ‘* Botanical Miscel- 
lanies, 1825-1844,’ I have not seen. There is much 
information concerning Cunningham’s journeys in Stuart 
Russell’s ‘‘ Genesis of Queensland.’’ In (8) there isa note 
on a “Crayon drawing by Sir Daniel Macnee, P.R.S.A. 
To the waist, seated, with arms folded, clean-shaven face 
three-quarters to the right looking slightly upwards. 
Dimensions 173 ins. by 133 ins. Hooker Collection.’’ There 
is a water-colour portrait of him in the Linnean Society’s 
collection by J. EK. H. Robinson. The coniferous genus 
Cunninghamia commemorates him, also a very large num- 
ber of species.

London, 12th February, 1793; murdered by natives near
