384 MR. T. SOUTHWELL ON OLD-TIME NORFOLK BOTANISTS. 
1875, and in 1884 was made Vice-Chancellor of the Uni- 
versity of London. In early life, Paget was associated with 
a remarkable group of Naturalists at Yarmouth, of whom it 
is only necessary to mention Dawson Turner, Lilly Wigg, the 
Revs. C. S. Girdlestone and Richard Lubbock, as well as his 
brother Charles John Paget, who died in the year 1844 at 
the age of 32. Together the brothers Paget produced an 
admirable ‘Sketch of the Natural History of Yarmouth/ 
published in 1834, containing a comprehensive list of plants 
found in that neighbourhood. The Herbarium which he 
formed at that time and which he used in his teaching in 
London, he presented in 1885 to the Norwich Castle Museum 
where it is carefully preserved. Sir James Paget died in 
London on 30th December, 1899, full of years and honours. 
I have already mentioned the Rev. Dr. Sutton who 
held the perpetual Curacy of St. George, Tombland, which 
living he resigned in the year 1842, and it is not. a little 
singular that his successor, the Rev. Kirby Trimmer, who 
had been his Curate since 1840, was also devoted to the study 
of Norfolk botany. Although not born a Norfolk man, 
Trimmer spent all his active life in this County, his first 
Curacy being at Burnham Overy in 1829, thence he removed 
to Great Bircham in 1833, and Norwich in 1840. His ex- 
periences in various parts of the County and the many friend- 
ships thus formed with kindred spirits rendered him peculiarly 
fit for the task which he undertook of producing a ‘ Flora of 
Norfolk,’ which appeared in 1866, and an undated Supplement 
in 1884 (not 1885 as stated in the Journal of Botany Dec. 
1887, vol. xxv. p. 383-4). Trimmer made a special study of the 
difficult family of the Mints, also of the Fungi and Lichens, 
and his work has formed the basis of the lists which have 
appeared more recently. Trimmer died on 9th October, 1887, 
having been incumbent of St. George, Tombland. for 45 years. 
We are now approaching very near to our own times, but 
there is one more name, and that a very familiar one to us 
all, which I cannot omit from this record of Norfolk botanists. 
I refer to one who was one of the founders and three times
