PRESIDENT’S address. 
Magazine” of February, 1830, the date is “ March 29th, 1828,” 
and that it is very unusual for the year to be mentioned in 
that Magazine. He therefore concludes that “ 1828” was 
printed because the notice was not inserted until more than a 
year had elapsed, but that other writers, noticing the long 
interval between March, 1828, and February, 1830, had 
thought to correct a misprint by altering it to 1829. I am 
unable to verify the date by any record of Lilly Wigg’s burial. 
Mr. Lupson, parish clerk, has searched the registers of St. 
Nicholas’ church and churchyard at Yarmouth, and he has also 
made enquiries about Yarmouth cemetery, where many 
Dissenters were buried ; but without finding any mention of 
Lilly Wigg. 
Robert Forby had taught botany to Mr. Turner, but Lilly 
Wigg is mentioned by Dawson Turner as “ my instructor and 
co-adjutor ” in the study of Marine Algae. 13 In Vol. III. of 
the Transactions of the Linnean Society Mr. T. J. Woodward 
and Dr. Goodenough — Dr. Smith’s friend since 1785 — had 
published their “ Observations on the British Fuci,” but so far, 
no complete work exclusively appropriated to that subject had 
been published. Turner had studied Norfolk seaweeds at 
Sheringham and Cromef, as well as along the east coast of 
the county. The two small volumes of his “ Synopsis of the 
British Fuci,” written and printed at Yarmouth (1802), were 
followed by his grand work “ Fuci,” issued from 1808 to 1819, 
in which some of the plates were by his wife, and the majority 
were by W. J. Hooker. 
In 1805 Turner joined Dillwyn in publishing the “ Botanist’s 
Guide through England and Wales,” Turner being responsible 
for the Cryptogamia throughout the book. The preface is 
signed “ D.T., Yarmouth, 10th August, 1805.” Vol. II. 
contains the Norfolk section, written at Yarmouth. 21 
Those who wish to study the old records of Norfolk plants 
may do so in “A Flora of Norfolk,” just published by this 
Society. 35 The editor of this “ Flora,” Mr. W. A. Nicholson, 
has worked out with great care the early records of each plant 
of sufficient rarity to demand detailed notice, and has specified
