Stackhouse, T. (—— — 1886). Commander R.N. With 
William Macleay he founded the Linnean Society of N.S.W. 
Macleay, who always depreciated his own efforts said, 
“The Society was formed, chiefly through the exertions of 
Captain Stackhouse, R.N.’’* Professor W. J. Stephens, 
President of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, said 
of him— 
‘“‘He died at Rocky Mouth, Clarence River, where he had been 
residing for eight months under the kind care of Dr. Hood, and 
he must be regarded as the originator of this Society, of which he 
was the first Honorary Secretary. His special pursuit was botany, 
though all branches of science, even of the most speculative, inter- 
ested him to a very unusual degree. After his removal from 
Sydney he resided for some years at Yamba, in the Clarence River 
district, where he employed himself with great success in the 
investigation and discovery of rare or new species; and where, 
unfortunately, he contracted by exposure to severe weather the 
illness to which he ultimately succumbed.” ”
