xxxviii Obituary Notices of Felloivs deceased. 



of the nineteenth century — a difficult task, which he performed with a 

 considerable measure of success. He became so interested in work of this 

 kind that he subsequently wrote a history -of botany in England, which, 

 unfortunately, has not yet been published. 



Owing to failing health Green resigned his Professorship at the Pharma- 

 ceutical Society in 1907, and undertook the less onerous duties of the Hartley 

 Lectureship on Vegetable Physiology in the University of Liverpool, a post 

 that he held until his death. His health finally broke down in September, 

 1913, when he had a stroke, from which he only partially recovered. A 

 second stroke, following an operation, carried him off on June 3, 1914, to the 

 deep regret of his numerous friends, to whom he had endeared himself by the 

 geniality of his disposition and his unfailing scientific enthusiasm. 



His merits did not pass unrecognised. He proceeded M.A. at Cambridge 

 in 1888, D.Se. in 1894; he became a Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1889, 

 and was elected to the Eoyal Society in 1895. He was President of Section K 

 (Botany) at the Belfast meeting of the British Association in 1902, and was 

 elected, in the same year, Fellow of Downing College, Cambridge.
