SIR JOSEPH BANKS. 
In Mrs. Caddy’s work, already quoted (ii, 80, 81), we have a reference 
to a parasitic worm which appears, on the Baltic and Bothnian coasts, 
to cause very serious injury to human beings. Linnaeus calls the 
species Furia infernalis, and describes it in his “ Systema Naturae” (Ed. 
13, Vindob. p. 1325, 1767). For the genus, Linnaeus quotes Solander as 
author in Act. Ups. ined. Fn. svec., 2070; also, Amaen. acad. 3 p. 322. 
Mrs. Caddy says that Solander has recorded several cases of this 
disease, and describes the animal as if he had seen it, in the ‘‘Nova 
Acta Upsaliensia ”* vol. i, p. 55. “ The Furia infernalis seems an 
animalcule one-sixth of an inch long. Dr. Solander describes it as 
dropping out of the air in autumn.” 
Under Art. “Furia” in “Rees’ Cyclopaedia,” vol. xv, we have a 
very full accomit of this animal, to which my readers are referred. 
In 1786, was published, Ellis, J., “ The Natural History of Many 
Curious and Uncommon Zoophytes, collected from various-parts of the 
globe, systematically arranged by D. Solander,” 62 plates, 4to. 
In the correspondence of Ellis, already quoted, are several references 
to his co-operation with Solander, and it is obvious that Solander’s 
share in the work was no nominal one. 
His name is commemorated in the Solanaceous genus Solandra, 
Salisbury, and in the following Austrahan species : — 
Spondias Solandri, Benth. ; Tribtdopis Solandri, R.Br. ; =Trihvlm Solandri, 
F.v.]VL Acacia Solandri, Benth. ; Banksia Solandri, Br. ; Orthoceras Solandri, 
Lindl. ; = 0. strictum, B. Br. ; Aqrostis Solandri, F.v.M. :. =Deveuxia Forsteri, 
Kunth. 
2. Dryander. 
Or Jonas Dryander, Banks’s second botanist-hbrarian, we know much 
less than we do of Solander. Like Solander, he was a Swede, having 
been born at Gottenburg, March 5th, 1748. 
His father was a clergyman ; he was educated at the Universities of 
Gottenburg and Lund, and also at Upsal under Linnaeus. He was 
intended for the practice of physic, but dedicated himself chiefly to 
the study of Natural History (especially Botany) and Bibhography. 
He arrived in England July 10, 1777, and resided many years (after 
Solander’s death in 1782) with Sir Joseph Banks as his librarian. 
He was librarian of the Royal Society and also librarian and Vice- 
President of the Linnean Society. He was a member of the Swedish 
and Russian Academies of Science. He died in London, October 19, 
1810. 
In the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, there is an etching of Dryander 
by William Daniell, after a drawing, 1796, by George Dance, R.A. To 
the waist, seated with arms folded, profile to right. [See Plate. ] 
* Qy. identical with the Linnean reference.
