very humble-minded man. He is not commemorated by 
any plant; I will try and rectify the omission some day. 
Waterman, William (————— ). Overseer, Botanic 
Gardens, Sydney; 1st July, 1846. Soon after Mr. Moore’s 
arrival-in Sydney in 1848, Mr. Waterman was transferred 
to the Inner Domain, but he resigned to go to the gold- 
fields in 1852 or 1853. 
Watling, Thomas’ ( ——). “The British Museum has 
lately acquired a very interesting volume containing drawings in 
colour of the animals and plants of Australia, made by Thomas 
Watling in 1788-1792. Watling was sent out by James Lee of 
Hammersmith (from whose great-grandson, bearing the same 
names, the collection was purchased), with a view to obtaining 
material for a book on the natural history of the country, but 
Lee’s death prevented his plan from being carried into effect. 
Apart from its contents, the volume is interesting on account of 
the light which it throws upon an entry on p. 253, vol. 1 of 
Dryander’s Catalogue of the Banksian Library: this runs, 
“ Volumen foliorum 70, continens figuras animalium et plantarum 
pictas quas in Nova Cambria prope Port Jackson delineavit 
Edgar Thomas Dell.” In Banks’ copy the last four words are 
struck out, and a comparison in the volume with the one acquired 
from Mr. Lee shows that it is the work of the same artist. 
Watling was acquainted with John White (Surgeon-general to 
the Settlement), who sent plants to Smith, and published in 1790 
his Journal of a voyage to New South Wales; une or two of 
Watling’s drawings were executed for White. The newly 
acquired volume contains several views of Sydney, which are of 
great interest.” (James Britten in Journal of Botany, August, 
1902, p. 302). 
White, John (————_). _Thein ormation in the follow- 
ing note is certainly not generally known to botanists:— 
‘TI have included this artist as a special case, with the view of 
elucidating further particulars concerning him. Particulars of the 
Bauers will be found in my forthcoming “ Life of Banks.”
