Journal in 1919. He had been a Fellow of the South London 
Botanical Institute since 1913 ; and when President of the 
South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies in 1928, his valuable 
address was on “ Fruits and Seeds as a means of distinguishing 
Allied Plants.’' 
Mr. E. G. Baker’s account of C. E. Salmon ( Journal of 
Botany, Feb., 1930) is followed by a useful list of some 72 of 
his principal botanical papers which started in 1893 in that 
Journal ; and by five other important papers on botany which 
appeared in the Proc. of the Holmesdale Club, the Cambridge 
British Flora and elsewhere. There are about sixty more of 
his notes and articles published in the Journal of Botany. 
Among his other important works was the Botany Introduction 
and Chapter on Phanerogamic Plants in the “ Victoria County 
H i story of S uffolk , ” 1911. 
Salmon’s recent work for our Exchange Club is well known 
to present members, but it may be re-called that he acted, 
jointly with his brother Ernest, as Distributor for five suc- 
cessive years, 1897 — 1901, and he has been one of the most 
valued Referees since 1910. Shortly before his marriage in 
June, 1905, to Miss Agnes Bowyer, he was particularly pleased 
by the presentation made him by this Club (with the aid 
of several individual donations from members) of Coste’s 
Flore de la France and another book. In a letter to me dated 
Feb. 24, 1920, he again referred to ” that valuable and useful 
wedding gift. I have used the book constantly since then, 
as you know.” Although, like others of our members, he was 
a member of and did much good work for the senior and larger 
Exchange Club, he was opposed to any amalgamation of the 
two Clubs, and this desire to keep the individuality of the 
“ Watson ” grew as time went on. 
Salmon did good work on many groups of Phanerogams, and 
had a profound knowledge of the British flora. He was the 
recognised authority on the genus Statice, and parts of his 
unfinished monograph appeared from time to time in the 
Journal of Botany. In preparation for this he was entrusted 
with valuable sets from both Europe and America. It is to 
be regretted that he did not live to see the completion of his 
extremely careful and comprehensive Flora of Surrey, though 
most of it was left in corrected type. From the MSS. and notes 
left by the author, it is understood this important work, his 
magnum opus, will be completed at the British Museum (Nat. 
Hist.).
