T.ecturer on Botany at St. George’s Hospital, 1855-68, Co-Editor 
1865, and Editor, 1887, et sequente of the ‘Gardener’s Chronicle.’ 
He contributed largely to the ‘Linnean Transactions’ and ‘Journal,’ 
to the ‘ Journal of Botany,’ &c., and by British botantists he will 
also be remembered for his paper ‘ On the Flowering Plants and 
Ferns of Oxfordshire and the contiguous Counties,’ which he 
contributed to the Ashmolean Society in 1857, and especially by 
his work on ‘Vegetable Teratology,’ which was publi.shed in 1869 
by the Ray Society. His name is perpetuated in Masiersia^ Benth., 
a Leguminous genus. His geniality and kindness impressed any 
one with whom he came in contact. He was a corresponding 
member of the Institute of France. See ‘ Gard. Chronicle,’ June 8, 
1907, with portrait, and ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ p. 258. 
Rachael F. Thompson, born at York 1856, died at Southport 
Dec. 9, 1906, was a grand-daughter of John Tatham of Settle, whose 
records of plants she contributed to Lees’ ‘ Flora of West Yorkshire.’ 
She assisted in the preparation of the ninth edition of the ‘ London 
Catalogue,’ and drew up the excellent account of the Hieracia for 
Groves’s edition of ‘ Babington’s Manual.’ See ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 
p. 78, 1907.

Mr. W. Bell, of Knighton Road, Leicester, has kindly consented 
to act as Distributor and Editor of the ‘Report’ for 1908. All 
plants should be sent to him in December 1908. 
Mr. E. W. Hunnybun, Mill Common, Huntingdon, who is 
making a most beautiful series of drawings of British plants, would 
be very much obliged if members would assist him in obtaining 
some of his desiderata, a list of which, with other information, will be 
gladly supplied by him. He will defray the cost of transmission 
and supply tins for the plants. 
By the kindness of C. Bailey, Esq., we are enabled to have the 
benefit of the accompanying reproductions of his photographs of 
CEnothera .
