PRESIDENT’S address. 
645 
Protection Schedule was under consideration by the Norfolk 
County Council, and various suggestions were made to this 
body by the Society. It is satisfactory to record that, with the 
exception of two species — the Kestrel and the Little Owl — all 
the birds that the Society asked to be added to the Schedule 
met with the approval of the Council. 
By the death of Mr. Charles Annesley Hamond, of Twyford 
Hall, the Society has lost a valuable and most respected 
member, and Norfolk one of its best naturalists. Beyond 
reminding you that Mr. Hamond was elected a member in 
1873, and in 1906 occupied the Presidential chair, I will not 
make further reference to him this evening, because a 
biographical notice of him appears in this number. 
Mr. Horace B. Woodward, F.R.S., whose death we all 
deplore, was another of our Past Presidents — 1892-93. An 
obituary of this distinguished Norfolk man will be found in 
this issue. 
Other members whose deaths we have to record are Lord 
Avebury, F.R.S., Mr. Bosworth Harcourt, Rev. J. T. Howard, 
and the Right Honourable James Stuart. 
SIR JAMES EDWARD SMITH AND SOME OF 
HIS FRIENDS. 
I propose in this Address to consider the surroundings of 
some of the earlier Norfolk Botanists and their intercourse with 
each other, but only to follow their lives and to enumerate their 
published works so far as they were connected with Norfolk in 
the days of Sir James Smith (1759-1828)- In the Transactions 
of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society there is 
but little information about James Crowe, and the account of 
T. J. Woodward occupies only three lines. 36 " Few people 
now recognise the Norwich residence of the First President of 
the Linnean Society, and it is difficult to ascertain the house in 
which he was born. 
During the latter part of the 18th century, Norwich was 
famous for the orchards and gardens interspersed among its
