be found in most of our great public and a few private herbaria. 
In 1900 his useful Flora of Bournemouth, including the Isle 
of Purbeck, was published. 
Though a considerable writer on botanical subjects, chiefly 
in the Journal of Botany, his first botanical notes did not 
appear until 1884 ; and he did not join the Linnean Society 
until 1914, and remained a Fellow for a few years only. 
But during a large part of his life Mr. Linton was an active 
and generous supporter of the two British Exchange Clubs, 
and especially of the Watson Club. He and his brother were 
original members of this Club in 1884. In the 4th Report 
(1888) we find “ Rubus Lintoni Focke, Sprowston, Norfolk, 
July 26th, 1887. — J. D. Gray. This is the same as what 
passed before under the names R. lucens and R. loetus Linton. 
These names, however, being already in use, had to give way 
to that which Dr. Focke recommended . . . E. F. Linton.” 
He was for many years, until 1916, a very regular contributor 
of beautifully dried specimens to this Club, and in 1904 became 
one of the Referees until 1922 when he and Mr. Arthur 
Bennett were made the first Honorary Members. 
In 1920, on retiring from Edmondsham Rectory in Dorset, 
Linton’s British Herbarium was sent to the British Museum 
and his foreign plants went to Cambridge. In the Proc. 
Bottrnemouth Nat. Sci. Soc. (1922-23) is an account of the 
presentation to Mr. Linton of the Gold Medal, and a summary 
of his activities by Sir Daniel Morris. 
Frequent visits were made to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. 
He was usually accompanied by his brother, but not infre- 
quently by the Rev. E. S. Marshall, Preby. H. E. Fox, or 
Mr. F. J. H anbury. “ Linton was a strong walker, and a 
quick and accurate observer. He was conscientious, pains- 
taking, and exact in all his work,” says Mr. Hanbury. 
Mr. Linton married twice : his second wife, two sons and 
three daughters survive him. He was buried at the beautiful 
cemetery at Boscombe. 
Some of these facts have been borrowed from the obituary 
notice by Mr. F. J. Hanbury in the Journal of Botany, March, 
1928, where is a full bibliography compiled by Mr. J. Ardagh.
