London, which Lindley occupied till 1858* In the same year 
he was visited by Professor C. Martens of Bremen, an enthu- 
siastic algologist, and father of Professor Martens who accom- 
panied the Russian Captain Lutke on his voyage to Behring 
Sea, where he made valuable observations and collections of 
the wonderful Algae of that sea ; and later received a second 
visit from Dr. Taylor, who was engaged with his host on the 
‘ Muscologia Britannica,’ published in 1818 with twenty-eight 
plates illustrating 269 species and three tables of genera with 
thirty-two species. This work had taken in all eight years 
of preparation, nearly every species having been collected by 
one or both authors. The number described is 2(5 9 as against 
227 enumerated by de Candolle for France, including the 
Pyrenees and Alps. The number of synonyms is about 470. 
A second edition hereafter to be notified appeared in 1827. 
The ‘British Jungermanniae,’ the most beautiful of all 
my father’s works, in point of the drawing, analyses, and 
engraving of the plates, was concluded in 1816. It had 
occupied him for about ten years, and was the first work 
of any magnitude which he projected. It appeared in parts, 
in both a quarto and a folio form, with eighty-eight plates 
engraved by Edwards, illustrating 197 species. 
In the same year he commenced working for the new 
edition, by G. Graves, of Curtis’s ‘ Flora Londinensis,’ a sump- 
tuous work, the parts of which appeared at long intervals from 
1819 to 1828. Its perplexing issue will be described later on. 
1817 is one of the very few years of his life in which he 
published scarcely anything. The exception was an account 
of the very remarkable European moss named after his friend, 
Tayloria splachnoides, in ‘ Brand’s Journal of Science and Art,’ 
No. Ill, p. 144, and ‘Musci Exotici,’ tab. 173. Of a visit 
to London in August of this year, he writes : ‘ I met at 
Spring Grove (Sir Joseph Banks’s) Abel, Brown, Leach, and 
a Mr. Manning of Diss, who passed many years among the 
Chinese endeavouring to get access into the interior, though 
he failed ; though he tells me he saw much of Thibet.* 
Mr. Manning is, to this day, the only Englishman who ever
