Besides which he was engaged in editing Dr. Voigt's Hortus Su- 

 burbanus Calcuttensis ; the posthumous papers of the late Mr. Jack 

 and Dr. Roxburgh's work on Criptogamous Plants, the two latter in 

 M'Clelland's Journal of Nat. Hist. vols. iv. and v. 



His unpublished M. S. S. extend to nearly twenty folio volumes, 

 half of which contain botanical drawings and descriptions of plants. 

 The remainder consist of narratives of his various journeys, with full 

 details of his botanical researches, — observations on the natural pro- 

 ductions and statistics of the region generally, measurements with 

 the barometer to determine heights and astronomical observations to 

 fix the situations of places. 



His collections of plants which were very extensive Avere distribut- 

 ed chiefly according to the countries in which they had been made, 

 but some of the natural families in which he felt most interested were 

 arranged generally. He had formed a separate collection of mosses 

 and ferns, duplicates of which had been forwarded to Sir W. Hooker 

 and Mr. W. Harvey. 



On his second departure to Malacca he left in Calcutta specimens 

 of nearly 8000 species, all carefully labelled for future reference and 

 study, M^henever he should be appropriately settled ; besides which 

 large collections had in like manner been left in the Straits, when 

 he came to Calcutta, all of which were independent of the copious 

 supplies transmitted from time to time to the East India House, and 

 of isets of duplicates furnished to scientific friends at home. ^
