84 * IN MEMORIAM. 



in all its varying aspects. And so we find him in 1876 giving 

 up city life and going with his mother and brother to reside at 

 Brockenhurst in the New Forest where for some three or four 

 years he studied the fauna and flora of that charming region 

 and compiled a list of the New Forest Phanerogams, which 

 was afterwards embodied in Townsend's Flora of Hampshire. 



Leaving the New Forest in 1879 the family went down 

 to Penzance, in Cornwall. Here Mr. Makquand soon made 

 the acquaintance of John Kalfs and William Curnow, two 

 celebrated Cornish botanists. As like attracts like, the 

 acquaintance very quickly ripened into an intimate friendship 

 which lasted through seven very happy years when the 

 Marquands moved into the adjoining county of Devon. 

 During his sojourn in Penzance Mr. Makquand was elected 

 a Director of the Free Library in that town and for some 

 years filled the post of Honorary Secretary of the Penzance 

 Natural History Society to whose Transactions he contributed 

 many papers on the entomology of the district — entomology 

 at that period forming his principal study. 



In Devon the family lived at Alphington, near Exeter, 

 where within a twelvemonth of taking up residence there the 

 brothers were bereaved of a much-loved mother, and the little 

 household being thus broken up they decided to go abroad for 

 a time, and after a year's travelling through Germany, 

 Austria and Switzerland turned their faces towards Guernsey 

 — the old home of their parents and the native place of the 

 elder brother. They arrived here in the autumn of 1888 and 

 found a flourishing Natural Science Society in existence, with 

 which our naturalist lost no time in actively associating 

 himself. 



Apart from Professor C. C. Babington's Primitice Flora 

 Samicce, published in 1839, comparatively little was known at 

 that time about the Botany of Guernsey and the adjacent 

 islands. A rich field of work, as congenial to Mr. Mar- 

 quand's tastes as it promised to be fruitful in results, was 

 thus opened to him on his arrival among us, and to it he 

 devoted himself with zeal and energy. In this labour of love 

 Mr. Makquand received much able and valued assistance from 

 several of the botanical members of this Society, prominent 

 among whom was the late Mr. G. T. Derrick, as also Mr. T. C. 

 Royle, Miss M. Dauber (now Mrs. C. Lewis) and Mr. Cecil 

 Andrews. In the end and as the outcome of seven years of 

 steady labour in the several islands of the Bailiwick was 

 published the Flora of Guernsey and the Lesser Channel 

 Islands, a volume of 500 pages issued by Dulau's, of London,
