7. Obituary Notice of Dr J. Lindsay Stewart. By Dr 
Cleghorn, Stravithy. 
Dr Stewart was a native of Kincardineshire, and obtained his 
medical education in Glasgow. After graduating he proceeded in 
1856 to the Presidency of Bengal as assistant-surgeon ; he was 
present at the siege of Delhi in 1857, and in 1858 he joined the 
expedition to the Yuzufzai country. In 1860-61 he officiated for 
Dr W. Jameson as superintendent of the Botanic Garden, Saharun- 
pore. His position gave him an excellent opportunity of becoming 
acquainted with the vegetation of the Terai and North-West 
Himalaya, and afterwards at Bijnour he studied the Flora of 
Rohilkund, and of the valleys between the Ganges and Sardah. 
As Conservator of the Forests of the Punjab (1864), his duties 
took him to all parts of that province, and also to Sindh, Kashmir, 
and the inner Himalayan tracts on the Upper Indus, Chenab, and 
Sutlej rivers, which adjoin Turkistan and Tibet. During his journeys, 
under the most difficult circumstances, he maintained his habit of 
taking copious notes, and accumulated an immense store of infor- 
mation regarding the plants of North-West India. The results of 
these researches are embodied in numerous papers published in the 
Journals of the Royal Geographical Society, the Asiatic Society of 
Bengal, the Agri-Horticultural Society of India, and the Transac- 
tions of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh. A most interesting 
account of the vegetation of the extreme north-west corner of the 
Punjab and the hills beyond it, which he studied during the Yuzufzai 
campaign, is contained in his “Memoranda on the Peshawur Valley, 
chiefly regarding its Flora” (Journ. As. Soc., 1863), and in his 
“ Notes on the Flora of Waziristan” (Journ. Boy. Geo. Soc., 1863). 
In the “Journal of the Agri-Horticultural Society of India” ap- 
peared “The Sub-Sevalik Tract, with special reference to the Bijnour 
Forest and its Trees” (vol. xiii. 1865); “Journal of a Botanising 
Tour in Hazara and Khagan” (vol. xiv. 1866); and “A Tour on 
the Punjab Salt Range” (vol. i. new series, 1867). His last
