was ordained a clergyman of the Church of England and 
was appointed Incumbent of Richmond. He wrote many 
poems, and contributed many papers and essays to news- 
papers and magazines. His botanical works are the 
following :—‘‘ Australian Ferns, No. 1,’’ Hortic. Mag. iii., 
262 (Nov. 1866), and continued in subsequent issues. In 
the same magazine he published a number of short papers 
on the native vegetation, especially between the years 
1868-1870. He published a large number of papers in Proc. 
Linn. Soc., N.S.W. ‘*A contribution to the flora of 
Australia,’ Sydney, 1867, 8vo. ‘* The progress of botanical 
discovery in Australia; a lecture, etc.’’ Sydney, 1869, 
24mo. (Previously printed in Hort. Mag.) ‘‘ Species 
plantarum paramattensium secundum ordines naturalium 
disposuit.’? G.W., Gottingse, 1871, 8vo. ‘‘ Lectures on the 
Vegetable Kingdom, with special reference to the “‘ Flora of 
Australia.’’ Sydney and Parramatta, 1879, 8vo. ‘‘ The 
plants of New South Wales . . . withan introductory essay 
and occasional notes.’’ Sydney, 1885, 8vo. ‘“* Plants 
indigenous in the neighbourhood of Sydney, etc.’’ Sydney,

properties”’ (ib., iv, 103). ‘‘Notes on the distribution of 
aquatic plants in New South Wales”’ (ib., vi, 176). ‘‘ The 
destruction of Eucalypts”’ (ib., viii, 75). His reputation asa 
botanist does not, however, rest on his published works. He 
collected very largely for Mueller, to whom he sent copious 
notes. Hisservices were acknowledged by Bentham in the 
“Flora Australiensis’’ and by Mueller in the ‘* Hucalypto- 
graphia’’ and other works. He had the greatest objection
